Default Re: Help me price my '05 srt6 roadster?

So in early February, a lady hit me from behind doing about 40mpg (texting and driving in the rain), My beautiful black STR6 Convertible was totaled along with her Honda Accord. She was underinsured with only $10K collision coverage which is the minimum in FL. Both insurance company's knew this. My car had 133K miles and was first valued by State Farm (her company) at $12K, but they were only able to pay out $10K less rental car and storage fee so cash offer to me was $7800. They said my insurance company would be able to pay me more.... but obviously there are some games going on here. My (ex)company valued my car at .... drum roll, $7800 since they knew about the other charges that they had to cover and treated me like crap. So in the end, her company agreed to pay me $9400 and I got to keep the car. I now have the car back with a FL Salvage, Rebuildable title. Car is not rebuildable since it has a badly bent frame that would cost ~$12K or more to fix. The non-replaceable fixed rear wing and truck lid however was totally untouched by the accident. I am still trying to determine next steps. I will start another thread to see if anyone is interested in buying the whole car before looking at parting it out. What a tragic loss of this like new future classic. They say cars with salvage titles are worth 1/2 what they would be worth otherwise. I would start your price at $20K which is only $5K lower than what I paid for my car in 2008
