Whats my car worth...?
Ok i just got t-boned about a week ago, the whole drivers side is fudged up and the front tire sits at an angle. The insurance company totaled it out and let me keep the car. So i wana sell it. Nothing mechanical is wrong at all, i just turned 100k miles when it happend. Im going to ask people if they want the whole thing and i wana know how much i can be expecting.

Im from Iowa and looking to purchase this. I believe you know my cousin JD (go to school with him) He should say something to you at school on Monday. Don't part this out just yet. I'm looking to purchase the entire car.

I'm interested, but not for 2k. There's a lot of body work, the front suspension you said is messed up, and I'm suspicious of the frame. I'm in Iowa City or Des Moines, depending on the day. Let me know. BLibin@mchsi.com

You are not going to get over $1,000 for it.
Correction...you're lucky to get over $1,000 from some crazy who wants it that bad.
If you go through all the trouble of parting it out yourself, you might make several hundred dollars, but it's not worth it.
Look in the For Sale / Wanted section on this forum.
Too much low-baller sellers for NA parts end up jacking the prices way down.
For a turbo, it's a little bit different, but I still think the prices are too low.
The car is only worth someone who wants the parts, which means another NA owner...

I know in my area that would go for at least $1500 as a parts car.

100k miles is a lot of miles for a used 13BT.
In my book, this would require a rebuild, and it's only useful for a core.
Unless there's detailed records of pristine upkeep, I would basically write the engine off.
I still wouldn't pay more than $1,000 for it.
We used to get non-running Turbo II's for $300 - $500.
I'm assuming the clutch is not salvagable.
Trans with that much miles cannot be in "perfect" shape unless recent rebuild?
So you end up with the "back half" of the drivetrain...
