IIHS? slow speed collision repair costs...

2009 Ford Focus - $13,520 to start and Arlington, VA. -- With more than 80% of the population of the US living in an all-urban environment, today?s reality of tight parking for our vehicles is a given. Considering that 60% of the total (meaning us) live in areas with population densities of 200,000 or more, tight parking on city streets is not only a daily reality but guarantees bumpers coming into contact with other bumpers. Just one ?touch? can add up to thousands of dollars in repairs because our bumpers may not adequately protect a vehicle from damage due to its overall height.
