Q: 97 Manual Honda Civic Ex with a broken radiator and possibly new brakes, looking for help on a price estimate but including labor.

asked by on August 09, 2017

I have a 1.6L Manual 97 Honda Civic Ex it has drum brakes. From a parked position and going into drive going 5mph, my car hit another cars back bumper, punctured the radiator but the radiator is not one equipped with the fan. The car was driven for 15 minutes going at least 55 if not 60 while the parking brake was on. the front bumper will have to be replaced and pins that went through the hood to set the spring into to lock the hood snapped off so those will have to be replaced but the hood is fine. What would be the cost of fixing all this and if ideas of other things that could have gone bad from this i would gladly like involved on a price estimate. From what I can see I do need a new radiator but not hoses, front bumper and i might have to get the brakes replaced.

My car has 176425 miles.
My car has a manual transmission.
