Yeah... I backed into a truck in front of my driveway while fiddling with the satnav today....
How much do you guys think this will cost to fix? I'm wondering because I'm not sure whether or not to make an insurance claim. If I do, I get it fixed for only $500 but then my rates get jacked up.

Hard to see the last one but there's a ~2 inch long scratch on the spoiler.

Basicly what I'm looking at is this:
new back bumper
repair on that quarter panel dent
new taillight
spray over 2 large scratches

I had my rear bumper cover replaced and painted not to long ago and the total damage was $977 so I think you're looking at the least 2k if you take it to a good collision shop.

nope...thats $3000-$3500 worth of damage.
$1000 for bumper and paint
$300 for tail light
$1500 to fix 1/4 panel and paint
$200 to blend the trunk lid
$150 to remove and repaint spoiler and reinstall.
