Can this be fixed or do I need a new bumper

Well I knew this was going to need fixing or replacing eventually so I need your opinions now on what to do. The previous owner did this ghetto repair job, not me. I have taken the bumper to local collision shops to get estimates on repair and paint and the best one seems to be for about 400-500 dollars including the paint and repair. So is this worth even getting fixed or will it just break again? There is a shop that has a plastic welder which I might go to to get a more permanent fix. I just don't want to spend all that money just to have it break again and have the paint crack and shit. Help me out here with ideas, suggestions, opinions, etc. Thanks

Mike

Here is an outside picture of the worst part

Here is the same thing, but on the inside with the ghetto patch

The center of the bumper is cracked also

Yeah I don't see why you wouldn't be able to repair it. I've seen people repair worse.

What is the best type of repair in order to make sure it lasts as long as possible? Im thinking plastic weld, rather than bondo or anything but I have no clue
