What potential price range of repair costs am I looking at for an overheated broke-down 1992 Honda Accord EX?


I just bought this yesterday. Really bad luck. Took it to Jiffy Lube and they filled the antifreeze and replaced the oil and everything. The car looked well maintained. Well, I think possibly Jiffy Lube didn't screw something on tight or something, because all the antifreeze leaked out and it overheated.

So my question is - what possible damage could have happened with a serious overheating coming off the freeway? It was smoking a bit. Seemed all from a hot radiator. I hope it's nothing big.

Any idea of a rough ball park estimate price range and any potential damages would be appreciated. Luckily I got road side assistance so I got it towed to the Honda mechanic but won't find anything out for a couple days.
