Default broken windshield

so a rock broke my windshield and i think i might have to pay for it out of pocket. does anyone know how much it should cost or where a good place to have fix it would be?
by the way i don't think my insurance coverage will cover it so that might not be an option.

Check junk yards for your front glass, I think its cheaper if you supply your own.

I paid $195 for a new windshield installed. They came to the house and replaced it while I was at work and left the receipt in the glovebox. I called them on Monday and it was installed when I got home on Tues.

My buddy had to get his windshield replaced twice on his 95 240SX. The first time it was like $180ish. The second time, he gota hookup from a friend for around $100.

i have a 95 240 as well, you think i might be able to get that hookup too? cheapest i've seen is $288. let me know the names of these places if you can. this was only after a small bit of internet searching.

i gotta get front and rear weatherstripping done as well. i haven't really looked into it because i wanted to get my car painted first so that it wasn't a different color underneath. also didn't want to have to pay for it twice. it doesn't leak at all either so its not that big a deal to me, just looks a little strange if you knew it was supposed to be there.
