A lot. I think I heard around $1,000 for the entire assembly. What part was cracked? If it's the outer part (toward the front of the car, opposite of the mirror side), you can replace it with the JDM turn signals (if your car is '06-'08).

Depending on your coverage and deductible, you could have your insurance cover it. Aside from that, I would go to the dealer and see what they say. Someone on the forums probably knows the part number?

Try a junkyard too if the mirror is all you need.

Does the motor still work? The glass shouldn't be too expensive. Very easy to replace too.

the glass itself is rather inexpensive compared to the assembly. it was 200 to replace my friend's glass who had her's cracked at school. she was getting work done at the dealer, and brought it up. we checked a local junkyard, and we found an is250 completely trashed, but the mirrors were in pristine condition. five bucks later and a quick clean, and she was happy again!
