If so, your costs to repair will plummet quite a bit. I'm guessing that you're not one to try to do the clutch; seems that everyone sees prices for the FULL clutch job of $1,500.
The motor mounts will be FAR less than your stated cost. You CAN do this work yourself, if you have jack, jackstands and tools. Same thing with the suspension and water pump.
If you could do everything but the clutch yourself, I'd say you're looking at more like $2,500 total - and MAX. Then, have the shop pay for the body repair, replace the damaged headlight and windshield, and drive on.
If you really can't do most of this work yourself, then perhaps stash the car away, save for that newer one, and either part out the old car, use it as a learning ground for wrenching, or keep it as a parts supply for that eventual newer Aero you buy.
Just my two cents...
