[quote=outtamojo][quote=spdrun]Why salvage? If a junkyard will give you a grand, a private buyer looking to fix the car will give you about the same, and at least you’re not destroying a repairable car.[/quote]
Would not be very bright purchase by private party imo. After fix-up blue book/car value < expenses paid due to accident history. I am getting a very favorable amount of repair$$ from my insurance co-I was expecting a total loss check for 7-8K.[/quote]
You can probably get more than $1000 if you chop it up yourself assuming you live where your neighbors wouldn't care about you leaving a junk car. Unfortunately no one is going to spend the time nor money to repair it if it has frame damage.
