About how much would it cost to repair my crashed car (pictures) ?

I know you cant give a fully accurate estimate, but my roommate crashed it and hasn't done anything about it. It's a 1998 Nissa Altima GXE.

Thank you!
She says she'll pay for it but she has no money and won't tell her parents! At least I have a better idea before I have it towed to the mechanic. Thanks everyone!

Most likely more than a 12 year old car is worth.

probably between 3 or 4 thousand $ might be more than the car is worth will your roommate pay for it

$ 4000 prob.
Next time get collision coverage on your insurance. it only costs a little more for a 98 year model

There is couple different ways you can go. 1) you can get used parts that can save you (roommate) a lot of money. 2) you can get the parts through an aftermarket vendor (ask a bodyshop for help with this) this will also be cheaper than new parts. I would get a estimate to find out the cost of damages, from what I can see without the hood being opened it will probably be about $2500-3000 to fix. Another thing is whether you want to put that money into a 1998 Altima
