2001 Camaro SS A4 Totaled and repaired, Price??? Hey everyone, I have a Black 2001 Camaro SS that was totaled in 2010. The damage came from two guard rails. At around 35 mph in the rain the car got sideways, lost control, went into one guardrail then veered across the empty road into another rail, then came to a stop in the grass. The insurance company declared it "totaled" although the damage was only cosmetic. Front bumper, headlights, FR quarter panel, rear right quarter panel, rear bumper, and frame (front of it) slightly bent (2-3mm) I have pictures to show of the car if anyone wants to see.
Basically, the insurance company totaled it, declaring that the repairs were over 70% of the value of the vehicle. I went ahead took the money and got it repaired by replacing the broken panels/bumpers/headlight straightening the frame, and it is now back on the road.
the new panels were repainted to match the color, the car looks like it hasn't been totaled in the first place.
Im looking to sell it now, here is some information about it.
LS1 engine, automatic trans with TransGo shift kit, SLP lid intake, Pacesetter longtube headers, a custom fabricated X-Pipe, Flowmaster series 10 mufflers dumped, SLP MAF, P275 tires with about 40% tread left.
dyno'd at 325 rwhp (according to 1st owner)
bought the car at 37k miles
totaled at 46k
currently at 59k miles with no issues.
any ideas?? thanks in advance

It's not an easy sell with that bad title (and the mods will turn off some) but the mileage could be very appealing to someone needing a 'cheaper' DD, especially since you have nice documentation of the damage which apparently has had no affect on the drivetrain. If you prefer a simpler and less time consuming effort than selling the car as parts, try an ad and see if you get any results. For an asking price, take 50% off www.kbb.com 'private party' pricing for a car in your zip code. Best of luck!
