just got into accident. help on repair pricing
Hey guys, my sister just got into an accident with her 2002 ES300. She hit someone and damaged the front. What i believe needs replacing is the:
Hood
Grill
Headlights
Fogs
Bumper
One Fender
Radiator
And other parts associated with the front area in that area.
A mechanic quoted me an estimate of about 3000 to repair it.
Do you all know of any place to get cheap parts. Thank you. And about how much do you think this would run to repair .. I dont have any pictures of it yet but thats a list of about whats damaged.

3K doesn't seem like that much. I just recently fixed a 93 Lexus ES that was hit in the front and I bought a used front clip for 1000.00 bucks. I got a really good deal on the clip and normally run 1800.00. That doesn't include any labor. The clip was a 96, and I was told there are all the same, but 92-93 are totally interchangeable, so I couldn't use the A/C condensor, or radiator. I also had to buy a core support since I didn't want to do double the work, of cutting the one off then welding it on the other car. I also had to buy a few other misc. parts that were damaged on the clip.
Just about all the Lexus ES models will damage the core support and at minimum the top of the core support will need to be replaced.
For me getting the front clip for a grand it was cheaper and easier then buying each part, plus for me I bought the car wrecked and someone else had taken it apart, which was a little weird since this is my first lex. So it was nice to see one put together. You got atleast 2 grand in parts not to mention paint and labor. Sorry.
