Whats it Worth? 04 CTS-V R-title
 

So a buddy of mine own a garage and his friend own a very reptuble body shop and he has his own personal ctsv. I been looking for one for a while and my buddy with the garage called me and said his friend might be interested in selling it. I've seen it before at his shop and its beautiful and can't tell it was hit. I used to do estimating before and car appraisals for a dealership so I know what to look for. There's no over spray all body lines match up all the correct glass is there.
Now its an 04 65000 miles black on black and clean all stock. Also all the air bags are original they weren't deployed.

It was once totaled? And has a rebuilt title? I would pay no more than 9k. If it was just a bender that was repaired then it's worth more imo.

If you plan on owning the car for a long time work to get the price in the 7-9 area. If you plan on selling it a year or two down the road don't buy it, or get it priced even lower.

If you did car appraisals, you should know what the car is worth...

It will honestly be worth what the other person is willing to pay. Far from a clean titled due to those reasons. But if you have a reputable shop, work, etc to show, then I'd keep it pretty firm seeing the car might of been reconstructed to perfection.

You can ask close to KBB on it, and have it sitting for a week or a year. If this is a car you will be keeping for a while, do it if it seems up to your standards. I wouldn't mess with it if you plan on flipping it.

Don't plan on keeping it forever I go through a lot of cars.but I don't really know I never drove one yet.. but also I do know appraisals but it is way different when were talking a branded title. I'm thinking one in fair condition with the mileage is 14000 so I think 9-10000?

I'm curious how much damage it took to total a $50k+ car. I'd get some details on the repairs before considering it. And just pass on it if you think you'll sell it in 1-2 years.

The car books 14k in good condition.. and it take 80% of book value. Body shops get expensive fast. Dunno if anyone has told you but the car was only worth 50g before the first own signed the paper work about 8 years ago.

I am probably going to trade my 350z and my celica for it if we like each others cars
