Mom's '86 Camry. Got rear ended last Thursday. Not bad, but it bent the
bumper up, put a small crease in the 1/4 and bent the pan just a lttle
bit.

If it had hit the bumper, like it was SUPPOSED to, it would require
replacing a taillight assy for about $30. But the Honda submarined the
bumper and did about $1500 damage.

Mom doesn't want to scrap the car, and since I know so many body shops
we'll get it fixed.

ACV about $1400 (NADA says $2100...)

Why do you think there would have been less damage if the Honda had not
submarined the bumper? It seems to me if it hit hard enough to crease the
quarter panel, a solid bumper on bumper hit would have resulted in the same
amount of damage, or more. I'll bet the Honda suffered more....Am I right?
