So over the summer I was hit by a drunk driver who ran a red. :mad
My ZHP was hit on the drivers side front corner and declared a total loss.
The other drivers insurance made an "owner retains" offer so I'd have to sell the car.
What can you expect to get from a salvage yard in CA for an 05 ZHP coupe (auto) these days?
I'm not interested in parting it out as I live in an apartment.
It had about 135k on it if that matters...
:dunno

I'd post it on Facebook for a few thousand. Auto is hurting the parts value, but coupe helps. If it's priced reasonably, you'll (theoretically) have a few serious people who will take it off your hands in short order amongst the 100 people that are going to waste your time.

I think you're going to see the most money through an auction site like copart, etc if you wanted a check right away. Salvage yard probably won't care that it's a ZHP and are going to pay the same as what they would for any E46.

Salvage yard will pay very little. I asked some years ago, they said “we pay 600 dlls if the car is in running condition”.

Well if someone does end up buying it to part out and ends up being local to the northeast, I need the engine... hit me up lol

Thanks! Sorry for the delayed response, got buried in work.
