Question Need some input.

I got in a wreck the other day and i'm trying to get a rough estimate of about what i can expect to get from insurance. A guy ran a red light and i T-boned him pretty good. It bent both of my front fenders, busted my grille and bumper up, bent my hood a little, broke my windshield, my engine surges every once in a while now, AC only blows cold when i'm moving, and the bar that runs across the front that the radiators are connected to is bent a little. Any sort of help with this would be great.

Once again not looking for an exact amount but a rough estimate if anyone has been in this predicament before.

It'll be close. Just the windshield will be in the $700 range.

Alright thanks, found a good body shop that will give me a very good price for it. Now just have to see if the insurance tries to lowball his price

Moved to the Gen section for non-tech.

Let us know what the insurance company does

That thing is as good as totaled. Just make sure you research fair market value and have that info ready for when the insurance company contacts you. They will inevitable low-ball you. After all, insurance is fraud IMO. Of course you could be one of those mythical creatures that actually gets a huge check
