Default How much for wrecked z?

I came across a 01 z06 hit from the passenger side door, it also has some interior pieces missing. How much you guys think is a good price for the car?

It is not a smart comment, if you want to know a good asking price which I would gladly give you my opinion you must provide some details of the vehicle. How many miles on the car? Frame damage? Exactly what interior pieces are missing? What repairs are needed? Anything salvagable?

This isn't a smart comment. You asked how much a wrecked Z is worth without details. That makes an accurate response impossible.

Without pics, no one can give an acurate estimate...

First of all, how much is he asking for it. Second, you better hope that frame is not bent to add to it or it's not worth the rubber it's sitting on. Third, make sure you are up to the task of waiting for all the repairs to get finnished. The waiting will be torture.

I damaged my passenger side door - and it had to be replaced. Depending on the impact the door may NOT be repairable. As the body shop explained to me the structure inside the door that protects against a side impact usually cannot protect you in a re-occurrance.

well the repairs im going to be doing myself, i have my vette here at the shop its a 98 vert hit from the drivers side, but i have severe frame damage,where the frame is hit its about 1/4 inch thick. I was thinking of using the parts of my vette for the z06.But if theres major frame damage then i should look the other way?? Ive heard that a vette is worthless with the damamged frame cause the stability and rigity relies on the frame and it could be dangerous at high speeds if your frame isnt 100% correctly alligned. sorry i couldnt be more specific at first.
