Default Hi, just totaled my car

Hey, what's up guys my name is Chris and I have a 1999 honda civic ex ej8. I just got in a gnarly little fender bender. I slammed into a Acura mdx 05 and totaled my front end on the 210 freeway here in Southern California. I'm just curious what do you guys think I'll need? Do you have an estimate? Or price or wht it will cost me?

I know I'll need a new radiator, front end(fenders, bumber, grill, hood, ect), new radiator support, radiator hoses/clamps, ..? What else do you guys think I'll need? Thanks a lot for your guys help!

I forget the street, but this is right before a sweeping right turn - 210WB SGV? There are a few spots where people slow down to nothing, for nothing : (


to know for sure it would need to come apart, but from what I can see..
hood, fenders, headlights, bumper?/grille, core supports, radiator&overflow - etc. and A/C condenser/new lines - if damaged. 600-1200$+ parts only - depending on where they're purchased

IMO the cheapest route is a local import auto dis-mantle. with H/M, Craigslist, a totaled donor car, eBay and amazon being among many other alternatives.

Yeah, 210 west bound. Right before a huge turn for the 57 merger. I heard now there was a huge accident with a bus with like 40 people crashed about a qrtr mile ahead and everyone slammed their brakes. Super lame, it happened to about 2-3 other drives that I saw. What can you do thou, hah. Ina get some quotes today, we'll see what happens. The parts should be cheap, we'll see about the work though. It just might be time to let go, and get a new car

Yeah, I still runs. I just turned it off since the radiator was messed up. Turns over no problem. I've gotten a few quotes, at 750 parts nd 1100 for labor.
