That cost for repair looks like it came straight from a dealer or a shop. There is no reason it should cost that much to repair. I'm assuming you don't have the means or ability to do it yourself, hence the price.

A 99 Civic would make anyone a great beater car. Put it up on Craigslist for $1000 and take the first $700 that is offered. Thats more than a junkyard would offer you for scrap and trust me, you don't want to part a car out. It is a lot of effort and any more for not a lot of money.
