I rear ended a parked car yesterday going 15, maybe 20 miles an hour. I was lucky enough to have two trash cans to be a small buffer so no harm came to my car, but there was still a lot of damage done to the other car. Its an '87 VW Jetta that was in excellent condition. There's a dent in the left rear quarter panel about 10" across and three inches deep, and the bumper fell off. Nothing else was damaged. We'd like to keep the insurance companies out of it, so about how much would it cost to repair something like this at your average body shop?
Usually the person hit would go to a body shop, get an estimate, and get back to you regarding payment. Considering its an 87, it shouldn't be too bad. When I got rear ended, with very similar damage that you described, it cost me about 900. My car was an 05. Use that to gauge how much.
