Default Cheap Cracker Repair?

Yup I just bought a 97 4 door Lx with no rust, 135k miles 2nd owner for $5000. Its all stock. Do you think the price was decent? To get to teh technical part. The rear bumper is cracked a little and would need to be fix. The bottom part hangs and the upper part is still on the crack is atleast 10 inches long. What do you think will be a easy fix without it looking like crap. Let me know. I will try to get pictures of it too buts its all stock.

I guess I can look around for the bumper but I will see waht happens. The car is worth 5.4k on kbb but I think I got it at a fair price since its a 97. My town sucks I've been searching for weeks and this is teh only decent one that came up manual. All the others were auto or not my condition. Was about to pick up a 2001 Toyota Celica GTS but it was being ready for sale so did a quick search at Honda and found the Civic. Decided to take it since I'm the second owner and like its rust free. Engine runs like its brand new car even feels brand new. It will have to stay stock until I get the loan all paid off.
