What would you do?
I have a 2004 ES330, great car, 167000 miles, no major issues. My bumper had a crack that grew in size and now I will have to replace it, I went to the best body shop in this area and to replace the bumper cover + fix all the other stuff damaged in the front of the vehicle, they want $1700. I think it is steep, but I don't feel like buying another car-I think I could get another 3 years out of this car since the engine is still good but I don't want a Lexus that looks junky. Is it worth fixing?

Assuming the bumper cover is the only major thing wrong, I would buy a painted bumper cover off of EBAY for $300 - $400 and put it on myself. I don't think a bumper cover replacement would be too big of a deal.

This place is a rip-off; they want to charge me $550 for the bumper cover unpainted, then 4 hours of labor. I can get a bumper cover painted online for $550.The bumper cover is the only major thing, but the $1700 includes replacing the fog lights also and replacing some brackets, basically bringing the front of the car back to original state.
