Default Salvage Title Value help, TIA

I have a 95 SC400 with 85K miles. I need to sell it and am trying to figure out what a good price is to ask. I've looked at KBB but not sure how to gauge what it would be worth with a salvaged title. The exterior is clean as is the interior, the body damage was fixed. The car has both airbags. The car runs fine and was only hit in the front right with nothing serious damaged. The only problem is the front control arm bushings are worn and need to be replaced for a perfect smooth ride (those that have had to replace their LCA's know what I mean). This is in Texas.
Here's a picture of it before I clay, polish x2, and waxed it.





relevant images only please. -mod notes.

I would price it in the 5-6K range. Good luck with the sale.

I would throw it up on Autotrader.com for 7k. Run it for a month or so if it doesn't sell then come down $500 every couple weeks till it does. Autotrader.com will run the car till it is sold for like $40.
