Wreked my car, curious on what u guys think it may be worth
So i recently wreked the nose of my car, 1998 sc300 and i am curious anout what u guys think i should be able to sell it for. It is a vvti ge-t with an mk4 w58 in it. The car is driveable as all the damage was done in front of the suspension, the ac even works still. But the frame and nose are pushed over to the point that its not worth fixing. I will add pictures later since its like 5am atm, but considering all the parts that are on it like the 98 rear bumper, tail lights , 5 speed conversion with act 6puck, i also have an older cast manifold, and full 3 inch exhaust i made with v band clamps, dual mufflers what do u guys feel it may be worth,

chnk said it best, find you another one and swap everything over? You've named some good parts, and a lot of folks would want. Price accordingly, and be prepared to get a "vouch" depending on your prices w/ shipping? Or keep the potential sale local?

I know about parting it out, im just trying to figure out if its worth me parting or would i be ok with selling it whole. What is a general asking price on a wrecked car, consider that if i put a fan in and took the hood and winshield washer tank off i could drive it.... I was thinking rat rod it maybe... Im so confused on what to do

A good number of pictures will give people a better idea of its present condition and be able to give a better value estimate . Also its title's condition whether clear or now salvage may help ?
You might need to sell it as a whole or part it out in your local area . Unfortunately as per our forum rules, you won't be able to part it out here.

I am guessing , that chassis will need to be pulled / straightened out by the frame specialists to get the front bumper support , lights mounting support aligned properly so the other front parts like bumper, lights and others can be mounted properly. The cost to put it back together in my opinion wont be worth it for a potential buyer . If one has another good shell and transfer all the goodies in the new shell then it is a different story.
IMHO , just part it out locally and get the most $$$ .

No offense but the car looks like it's been through hell, I'm not seeing much money in a part out. If the tranny and engine is solid I would look for a clean shell with good interior to put it in, then part whatever you can and scrap the rest.
Aside from the upgrades you listed I can't imagine anyone giving more then $500 for it.

You live in the south & for the most part no salt except from the ocean. because you bent the unibody frame stub value of the car makes it a total, but you should be able to find another clean shell down there & just trade parts. Otherwise it may take along time to part it out on your own.
