I ordered a new rear bumper for my Chevelle last summer; it cost $475 with shipping and required 10 bolts to assemble on the car. It appears that fixing a bumper on new cars is very different. According to Liberty Mutual insurance a new bumper on a 2014 car would run $1,845 and that escalates to $3,550 for a 2016 car. The villain is the sensors that measure distance and are located in the mirrors and bumpers.
All new cars have life-saving airbags but once deployed they are costly to replace. The total cost for professionally replacing airbags that deployed in a collision can be $1,000-$6,000 or more but averages about $3,000-$5,000, depending on the year, make and model of vehicle; The total cost for professionally replacing airbags that deployed in a collision can be $1,000-$6,000 or more but averages about $3,000-$5,000, depending on the year, make and model of vehicle.
There is no question that cars are safer but when you add the average cost of a new vehicle ($34,500) and the high cost of any fender bender you realize that driving is much safer but that trip to the grocery store is becoming much more expensive.
