cause it was a lengthy battle with insurance almost 2 months plus the towing and storage charges and estimate cost through lexus was almost $10k. Sad part is that the accident is not even reported on carfax and the insurance total the vehicle.

I think 19k is a good starting point, the market will decide. A car is worth what someone is willing to pay and you are willing to live with. GLWTS

$19k is a starting point, but also consider that it will be really hard to find lenders that will finance on a branded title. Good luck with the sale.

Sorry bro, you are looking about 50%-60% of market value on a clean title. You MIGHT be abe to get more private party if you can show proof of post crash damage.
True, but I was just going off of the current rebuilt F's for sale. You kinda gotta price with the current market.

Sorry to hear your having to sell.

Guessing that wasn't a consideration at the time, hence not going with the insurance work/non-OEM parts.

Unfortunately we never know what the future will hold, so can't predict these things in advance.

I'd say $19k is a fair starting point. You can always go down slightly(we all want the satisfaction of shaving off a bit more haggling! Lol), but give yourself the room to do that.

Provided the repairs are sound, I'd consider something like this. Just depends what the buyer is looking for. I'd go all out with mods, so starting with a cheaper car would make sense.

Best of luck with the sale.

seems like start at 19.900 could be a starting point then work your way down. cant go back up once you offer so start higher than lower.

A good starting point is to tell the truth about the history of the car.

It had $29k worth of damage done to it, thats os why it is a total loss. How do i know this. I got the check from the insurance company that paid it off. It was my car when totaled. More details are in the for sale add he posted
