2011 C300 help!

Okay so I got rear-ended and need a new bumper and fix the rear impact bar. Any advice? the other guys insurance low balled the **** out of me on the estimate, no oem, want to "fix" the bumper. Anyone know where I can get oem parts for a good price? Anyone work for the service department? Thanks

thats ridiculous have you done most of your maintenance at the dealership? If you have you can legit go get a quote and they have to pay for it or go to the shop you always go to and get a quote from them.

oem parts are all expensive. you can go with an aftermarket body kit but it will still cost a lot and you can just buy the bumper.

i looked on eBay saw some for 299$

Yes it's always been serviced at the dealer and it's a cpo. I took it to get an estimate at my preferred body shop and it's like a 2,000$ difference between the 2 estimates.
