Default Considering selling my 96 ws6

I've been toying with the idea of selling my 1996 Firebird WS6. Car has ~104,000 miles on it. Stock motor, trans, and rear end all in great condition. Recently replaced the intake gasket painted the intake red. Also replaced the oil pan gasket, and rear main seal.

Car has new stainless steel headers and ypipe. Hooker cat back. Car has 1LE springs with bilstein hd shocks. Brand new opti 10k miles ago, and a meziere electric waterpump.

The car was in great condition but I was recently sideswiped on the 5N by a truck. Guy pulled over and apologized, giving me all his insurance info, but then denied that he hit me and claimed I came into his lane causing the accident. So long story short, the car needs ~1500-2000 to repair the rear quarter panel. The driver door and fender have tire marks on them that can, for the most part, be removed. There is no damage to the door or fender. They will just need a respray at most. I've replaced the driver's side mirror already.

I've bought a 98 TA so I'm considering selling the 96 and putting the money into fixing up the 98.

This is a "how much is it worth" along with a "taking offers" thread, so all replies are welcome.

Not really. I already got a quote around there, and its not even a hookup. Like I said all of the damage is in the rear quarter. It just needs to be pulled, smoothed and painted. The door and front fender just need a respray. There is absolutely no damage to those areas.
