Paintless Dent Repair - Does this Qualify?

I'm looking at a potential EX to purchase. Very clean except the font end passenger side. Owner said someone in Walmart took to backing in to it in the parking lot. Can anyone evaluate these pictures to see if it could use PDR for a fix or would it need to be replaced? Anyone ever had it done and what cost are we looking at?






And yes it appears that there is a screw holding the bumper on lol. Would most likely have the bumper removed and redone vs replacing with another bumper if its not too bad damaged (which it doesn't appear to be)

A good body guy who is willing to take the time will straighten the edge of that fender and respray it for you along with the bumper cover. I would say that PDR wont work here as there is already paint damage on that panel(fender.)

Not a PDR repair too much bend. It can be fixed. I would take it to a body shop and get an estimate before I would buy & use it to lower the price.
