Radiator Problem 850 1995

Last week backing out of a driveway in the wife's '95 855T the front end hit the front of the driveway due to a high curb. Boy did it get my attention. Then a couple of days later I noticed a puddle of antifreeze about the size of a quarter on the garage floor. It appears that the radiator will leak that amount if the car sits overnight. Shorter period of time do not produce a puddle. I took it to the shop today for some other items and was told that I have broken the right mount and the radiator has a small hole in it where it bottomed out. I am told that the only solution is to replace the radiator at a cost of $450.00. Ot this correct and is it a good price ? What else can be done to fix it ?

TIA

    I repalce one last year and bought and OEM at Berton volvo for 245 including shipping costs. If you are going to do the work, flush the automatic trans. and order new clips and some seals for the hoses( mines broke after removing the hoses and took an extra trip to a local dealer)
