old lady crashed into my car. its a 1999 chevy camaro ss m6 with headers, ory, slp dual dual, tune and lid. It has 101k on the odo and the tranny was rebuilt 10k ago with a new clutch also. how much do you think i could sell it for as is?

Why not fix it? Seems like only minor damage.

i'm not a fan of driving cars that have been in accidents. Not sure how much damage has been done. I know that the hood, fender, head light, fog light, turn signal, paint, installation and labor. Not sure if they will fix it since these cars arent worth much anymore. I'm waiting to hear from the ladies insurance so I can file my claim. I figure i could make a decent amount from parting it out or selling it as a hole to someone wanting to swap the wiring, engine and tranny into a car.

?? Why? As long as there is no major structural damage a good shop will get it looking good.

$10
I'd say maybe 2500-3K. Have you thought about parting it?

I'm local and am willing to come to take a look at it...
yeah 3500 max id say it that current shape
...fixed id say max 6500, book is what maybe 7000
it very possibly is a total due to cost to repair if thats the original hood(u said it is an SS)
id say take the totaled out payment, buy the car back, and resell as a whole, dont bother parting it, someone would buy it for 3500 as a donor car as is. then all in all you got around 9-10k out of it to go buy something else.

thanks for the responses guys. her insurance is gonna pay for it, but if its not totalled, i'm gonna part it. if it is totalled then i'm gonna buy it back and part it or sell it as a whole depending on how much i would get. Thats why I was asking. anybody is free to look at it also and drive it once the claim goes through. you can pm me for my contact info.

thats what i figured cause gm charges a lot for that item. I wanted to resell as a whole so i'm not worrying about doing all the work myself. thanks

Sounds like your throwing in the towel too early. Wait for the insurance to finish up, holidays pass, and warm weather to arrive. Chances are you'll sell it easier or enjoy it more in the nice weather. Either way good luck with it.
