How do you go about figuring out what a R titled car is worth?

The car im intrested in is a 2001 Black WS6 6 speed. R titled with 100,000 miles. Bone stock. Nice condition. He wants $8000.

what do you guys think

Half a clean title

Exactly. I don't know what the 'R' stands for in PA but if it is indeed a 'salvage title', $8,000 for a 100,000 miles car is insane. That's what a clean title car goes for with that mileage.

Salvage restored back to somewhat OEM specs maybe $4,000 i got mine for $3,000 it had 150K on the clock. In your case i wouldnt pay more than $5,500.

agreed on half clean. if i know a car wasnt really damaged bad and will be using it for my own DD i dont care about salvage, but if you plan on selling in the future people are terrified of salvage titles and dont want to pay crap

hmm cant figure out how to edit my last post.. anyway im guessing the "R" is for rebuilt, same as salvage

The "R" stands for Rebuilt/Reconstructed

I personally wouldnt buy any R/salvaged titled car b/c I drive my car very hard and fast therefore i wouldnt trust someone else's work on rebuilding a car to spec.

Mine is a salvage with 155k on it, no problems, except the spiders have a tooth missing that im replacing tommorow, i didnt pay for mine, but the guy who did paid 5k, transams and a little less common around here then in other areas. so id say 5k is good.

OK, thanks for the info. Yeah, no way. A very tough sell f you needed to do so in the future. If you feel like gambling (I would NOT), pay appropriately so you don't get hurt too bad, just in case. I agree with the $4,000 - $5,000 area. The seller will realize this fairly soon unless he misleads someone.
