So a friend of mine got in an accident with his Z and is trying to sell it as is. The car runs great and the damage is limited to the body. It's a 2005 MT w/ 69k miles. Any insight as to the price of the repairs compared to the value of the car would be extremely helpful as i don't even have an idea as to how much it would cost.

What do you guys think? How much would you pay for this car?

 

The five pics show significant body damage. The QP damage alone will run close to a grand to r/r blend and paint. The front will be at least that as well, so there's $2K as a minimal guess. And while the car might run fine, a hit that hard probably damaged other parts as well.

A damaged car won't bring very good prices- I'd guess under $10K as is.

So if your friend didn't have full insurance on his Z- you need to find smarter friends.

 

it will only be worth <$10k when done since it will be salvaged since your buying it from a yard/insurance buyback correct? if you pay a shop to fix it prob cost you 5,000-8,500 pearl paint aint cheap about $1000+ per panel to repair assuming the suspension needs nothing besids an alignment. if you buddy doesn't go through ins and it stays clean title prob worth $12-14k after proper repairs.

If I were you i wouldn't go any higher than $3000 unless you do the work repairing it yourself or you got the plug at a body shop
