Question: Price for a parts car...and guess what! I'm getting a cobra
Just wanted to get an idea from you guys what I could get for my car as it sits now. Heres a pic of the damage.
I hydroplaned last week and busted up the front end just a little and the insurance company totaled it. Car still drives fine, I drove it home from the accident. Engine runs fine, radiator isn't cracked, tranny is fine. Mods were LT's, O/R H, Flowmaster catback, 3.73s. Literally is just front end damage, just too much for my insurance to cover to be fixed.
How much would I be looking at as far as price goes.
I ask b/c I'm went to check out a 98' cobra today and decided to buy it. I told him what happened to my car and said he wanted to come by and look and buy it off of me, so I would just pay some cash on top of him taking my car. Just trying to figure out how much money my car would take of the price.
Thanks for the help guys, I'll get some pics of the cobra up here tomorrow. So excited to get that cobra haha

Do you think I could get away with $2500? Or is that pushing it? My plan was to start off by saying 2.5k and then negotiate from there, so maybe 2.2 or 2.3k, or is that realistically still pushing it?

I would think that would be a fair listing price right there , Specially if it drives and runs good. you could also throw down A GREAT FIRST CAR - NEEDS A LITTLE TLC lol. If you have no luck with that tho list it 2200 OBO , take the mods off and sell them individually.
There is a Mustang for sale and the guy is asking $3000 for it and it has more damage then your vehicle. His car still runs and drives fine, not saying $3000 is too much but I would start the price for your car higher than you would be willing to let it go for.

well the idea was that the guy I'm buying my cobra from, wanted to see my car and buy it as a parts car when I told him what happened to it he was very interested in it. And I am for sure selling it to him, and then paying cash on top of my car. I just wanted a ball park range of what I should tell him I wanted for it.

Did you have full coverage? If so, how much insurance company offering you...

Yea I did, I got $6350 back, and the guy wanted 7k for the Cobra and then talked him to 6.5k, which I'm fine with. So after my 500 deductible I have $5850 cash at this time. Bought my car back from the insurance company for $500 and then and going to give him my car, and then some money on top of that. So I have 5.3k in cash. SO basically wondering how much cash my car would take off the price of the cobra, which from what yall say would be 2.5k or so. So 4k in cash and my car would get me the cobra free and clear ideally.
