Another Man's Treasure
From autoblog.com:
mid-range 2LT model with several extra-cost options (including the Z51 package) like the one Copart is selling. Plan to set aside considerably more money if you want to give this gruesomely smashed-up example a chance: Its estimated retail value is $107,699. We won't know if it actually sells for that much until it limps across the auction block, and no date has been set yet, but it's the only 2020 Corvette listed on Copart,

PS: I'd never get within a mile of buying a "salvaged" vehicle.

That $107k price is the Copart "estimated" MSRP of the new vehicle BEFORE it got re-kitted. The starting bid/reserve will be based on a percentage of that estimated MSRP. The actual "sold" price won't be anything near MSRP given that a car with a salvage title might bring 50% of it's original MSRP.

Yeah only had the car for a week before I got hit. Fortunately it was only minor damage and everyone was ok.
Ouch!
Did this to the front splitter when I went off the road.
Spun his peg around.

You and the motorcycle guy really got lucky on that one. I remember seeing the damage pics but couldn't find them.. Thanks for posting.. This gives me something to do while I wait for my 21 Vert. Anyone like to turn this thread into a sticky?

Show me the empirical evidence a "crash thread" here will lead to safer driving by C8 owners. How many of the pictured cars were owned by Forum members?
