That adds value to the car? Why? And to who would the story matter to?

How does a car like this get totaled from "purely cosmetic" damage? Let's play Devil's Advocate and value the car for $45,000. Typically (not always) insurance likes to start debating whether or not to total a vehicle around the 70-80% value mark. That's $31,500 estimated damages based on fairly conservative numbers. |

Anything is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Not what someone is asking for it.

And I'm not posting to demean the owner, the ad, etc.... I just have no concept of how that wreck (based on the photo) could cause anywhere from $32k - $53k in damage... especially if the wreck didn't damage any of the suspension, airbags, other expensive stuff. |

Maybe it's just me but in my experience, this is more than just cosmetic damage.

Online insurance auctions have made big changes in how insurance companies total cars. If a vehicle is in demand they will total it out knowing they will recover a large amount of value from salvage buyers. Meaning less money out of pocket for the ins companies = less loss. = Greater profits. That said anyone purchasing a previously crashed car-salvage or not should have a competent chassis man look at the car for them. There are a lot of shops doing subpar repairs that have no clue about crumple zones. Differences in structural steel - using heat -sectioning etc..

I understand the idea of market average but in my honest opinion with a car like the z28 you almost have to pick those lower outliers to base value on. If I can go to Texas or California and get a clean title car for less than $5k net difference I can guarantee that 99% of buyers will go that route.
