Default 2001 WS6 - probably totaled

Ok, I haven't heard from insurance yet but I am guessing the car is totaled.
Here are specs on the car:

real WS6
bone stock
6-speed
111,000 miles
pewter/ebony interior
ran and drove perfect before the accident.

The damage is almost in the direct center of the rear, and the drive side rear wheel got curbed pretty hard, and was sticking out pretty far (like positive camber), so you can imagine what kind of damage is done there


However, the car was in excellent shape before the accident, had brand new tires, and the car would hopefully be sold as complete. Any idea how much it is worth? I am trying to decide if I want to buy it back from insurance after it is totaled. thanks.

Move on to another LS1. The current value is what is important now and you have to look at it cold! It now is (or will be) a salvage title, almost 10 year old car, with over 100,000 miles on it. The value is 'very low' now. If you buy it back, and put serious $$ into it you will never see the money again if you need to sell. Not with that title. Sorry to hear about the loss.

No, I don't want to buy it back to fix it, I want to buy it back to part it out. I must not have been clear.


So to be more clear, how much can I get for the car as a whole, considering what I said above, OR how much can I get from parting it out? Thanks.

I see. Sorry. I really do not have any idea on used parts prices from our cars. All I know and have read is that it can be a real pain to ship (time and cost). Hopefully someone will assist you with an actual value.

OK, car is totaled for sure. The insurance agent is calling me tomorrow with the buy-back price so, any ideas? I need to be 100% sure im going to make a profit on parting this thing out before I buy it back. Thanks.

It'll probably be $1,800-$2,500. I wouldn't pay more than $2,500

If it has a perfect front clip, I would give $3000-$4000.
