Its not wrecked.. Its fixable. There was no insurance claim and it has a clean title. It more of a body shop special.

there is no point in us telling you what its worth. get some quotes from body shops. mods dont necessarily add value to the car, so if you want to sell the car, you probably want to part out most of the mods.

Also depending on the year and the mileage...sounds to me like there is a pretty decent amount of damage if you need an entire rear suspension and rims replaced. Add that to what you make it sound like is a decent amount of body damage, there may also be considerable frame damage...

...given the above, your car may very well be totaled from an insurance standpoint, so would it be worth it to rebuild or repair? Only way you may be able to recover money at that point is to part it out...Only way anyone can tell is by seeing it. Gotta get us some pics.

if it's under 5k to repair i'd fix it.. If it's more then it's ur decision. year of car? By the mods u have listed sounds like a part out might get u more money then a total sale in a crashed state.. "Motor City" in Newark NJ can do full restore jobs even if it was split in half..

I'm confused. The condition of the car before the accident is immaterial to what you are asking.

If you want to know that the car is worth as it sits, very, very little. There are very few people out there that would be willing to take the risk on a wrecked car. If you had it completely repaired yourself, then it is worth more, but considering the car's history, it still isn't worth all that much.

Face it, you have a highly modified car that has been in a number of accidents, and at least the last one is pretty severe. It simply isn't going to be worth much. Your most likely buyer may be someone looking for a track car, if the body is still straight.

Financially, you are probably much better off parting the car out. If you don't have the time or the ability to do that, then you might bet a few thousand for the car as it sits.

BTW, if you part the car, I'd be interested in the front sway bar.

Let me know how much you want for the car as a whole. I'm very interested if the price is right!

Is it driveable?

I mean there are just too many factors that would go into this before buying a car that "could" be repaired or restored.

Based on exactly what you say, since I have no info to go on other than your mods, I'd only pay about $6-7k because all I know is I'm getting a parts car.
