how much should this cost??

[TurboBird]

ok I rear ended someone about a month ago and I haven't had time and don't have a place to fix my car, so I guess I am going to take it to a body shop. I don't want to get ripped off, so I was wonder if anyone knew how much it should cost to get the hood, driver side fender, bumper, and core mount replaced, plus painted? I already have lights. Also there seems to be a problem with the introment cluster lights and I can't get the car to turn over, the core mount is pinned up against the alternator.

Body work is one of the worst/costly things you can have done to your car. To give you a little perspective as to how bad, I was recently quoted 1500 bucks from a cheap hole in the wall place to just do a 2 stage paint job of my whole car and that needs 0 body replacement work. You can find the bumpers/fenders and stuff here on tuners/junkyard/ebay for cheaper then a good body shop would replace it for. Then take them the parts and have them do it. Hope this helps a little.
