The upgrades don't really affect the blue book value of it. If you're buying the car, go by that, and use the salvage title history as leverage to get a lower price (or ask for paperwork showing complete repair from the hail storm).

If you're selling it, be sure you have on paper an explanation of the salvage title. All repair records would be a plus too. That salvage title will knock a good $1000 of your asking price. People will see that and automatically try to get it for less, regardless of the state of repair... even if you have paperwork, that will still be a factor. A reconditioned car with a salvage title is like a born-again virgin...

I'd say no more than $5,000, sight unseen. If I was buying it, I'd be haggling for WAY less... but that's just me

probably $6000 around there. Its approching that magical #100k and the value drops after that. If your trading it in the dealership will give you squat on the car. You'll make more money on it on the open market. Good luck

nadaguides.com is what banks use to value cars. if it's salvage titled then it's only worth a maximum of low book according to most banks.

Doesn't matter why it has a salvage title. The car has mods so its worth less than bluebook. Don't pay more than 5 large. Thats being nice even.
