New, they are the same price.. and if some trim was good the 17+ one would be cheaper due to less trim purchases required.

But the seller probably buys parts cars and just had a rear end wrecked car elsewhere and threw whatever they had laying around on it instead. Fenders have VIN tags also so used fenders probably.

that does not equate to 75% of the cars value. I would suspect more than bumper damaged happened.
the vin tags appear to still be on the fenders in pics, I would check them and make sure they match the car and then make sure they don't appear to be re-glued on.
Do some serious investigating. Again, it shouldn't have totaled from bumper damage.
It wasn't just bumper damage. Fuse box has obvious stress damage from the impact on the front right.

That Dave guy is a bit shady though.
