Advice on scratch repair

Standard sob story I’m afraid. the brakes on my car went kaput at an extremely inconvenient time so my brother in law very kindly leant me his car (would have normally just waited to get mine fixed but the inconvenient timing was my other sisters funeral and we had to get around town)

A few days after we noticed someone had clipped the front drivers side, since we were all over the place that week i have no idea where or when it was done- of course nobody left a note, we only know it was a white car because I washed the area below where there was white paint transfer and most of it came off with a wet cloth.

its a 2007 outlander so not new- but also not mine and it’s time to return his car and I’ve just gotten a quote of $1000 to fix the scratch.

I see a lot of posts of people who are quoted around that much for various scratches- both worse and not as bad as this, I’m just wondering if it’s worth me going to get more quotes or is this about what is expected.

the smash repairs place I went said the whole panel needed to be removed, worked on, sanded back completely, resprayed, matched, gloss coated ect.

if that’s the case #1 I can see why people don’t leave their number when they scratch other peoples cars, and #2 I’m absolutely devastated; I didn’t do anything wrong, I am ‘budget for toothpaste’ poor and this is $1000 because someone else misjudged pulling out of a parking space.

on my car I would just leave it and accept that I have a scratch now.

so rant aside, does that sound like the right price based on the photo? I’ve been looking for second hand replacement panels online because maybe I can just pop it off and pop a new one on but I think most people scratch the same spot- everyone with genuine parts has all but that panel and I wouldn’t go aftermarket without permission.
