My one brother in law years ago worked at a junk yard. He would get cars in that they called 10 percenters. The cars would be classified as totaled by the insurance company. But the damage vs value vs cost to fix wasn't that far out of balance. He would buy the car from the junk yard, and the parts need to fix it. He had some really nice cars that he did. BUT he could never sell them for what the blue book listed because of the R title. But he made money on them.
What I'm getting at. You will never get out of it what you think it's worth. Plus you have to look at the price of the car, add the price to fix it. If it costs more then what the low listing is. It's not worth it.
