2010 ZR-1 Slavage Car: Co Part

[LGAFF]

Hey,

I know of a 2010 ZR-1 that will be coming up on Co-Part.. About $45K in damage written with all new parts and paying standard labor rates. Car does not look that bad and it did not intrude into the motor. Front end damage.

Will keep everyone posted.

Its a 3K mile car Cyber Gray.......

Very interesting, lets us know. What do you think it will go for?

[LGAFF]

REally depends, honestly looking through the est its mostly parts....front frame needs to be sectioned also....buts its not really a "total" its just hard to drop $45K in repairs and hand a supercar back to someone.

Hood is almost $6K.....

[todesengel]

it will go pretty high. When I had my shop I had an account with co-part, and when it came to higher end/sports cars, prices would go stupid high.

[LGAFF]

We are hoping for over $45K

Hey bro send it to me I can fix the frame in school we start frame sectioning and frame repair next week for 6 weeks. also do A pillers B pillers door skins and such next week.

I could use a project car to work on for my 20 live hours.

Hey Johnny, sounds like you gettin an edumication fo autobody?
What would the car be worth after it was fixed?

[z proud]

A corvette with a salvage title,,,you could not trade it into a dealer, you may not even get a loan on this, if the car would retail for say $85,000 a salvaged titled repaired car would bring $60,000 to 70,000...


some cars sell for more damaged then you can sell them for fixed.

so if you add it up 45 k for the estimate damage and 45k in salvage your at 90,0000



So what's Johnny up to in PA?

[LGAFF]

a rebuilder will use used parts, and labor to repair panels that are traditionally unrepairable due to labor costs.....You could fix this car much cheaper....and the ACV was slightly over $100K

[phrogs]

Yep Im up in Pa going to school place is called wyotech.

taking autobody right now.

It would be way to cool to get this car and fix it!!

If I owned a 2010 ZR1 and got into an accident, and I wanted the car fixed, the autobody shop would use new parts correct? Is there some "rules" that state that new parts will be used until the car is a certain number of years old?

No, very few states have rules around parts used in auto repairs, we have internal rules as to when we will start using used or aftermarket. But very few states control parts use as its a contractual issue. In fact as far as I recall used is not controlled in any state as its OEM.

OK, thats what I though so far as the internal rules.
I looked up a 2010 ZR1 hood panel from Sherman for $500US or $494CAN, and a GM hood was $630US.

I have no problems with used parts, as you say, they are OEM. I was just curious as dad and I were discussing this a few days ago, he straightens frame, affixes body panels, but does no body work or painting. He said there is quite some difference between aftermarket body panels and OEM panels. In my experience there is a differnce between OEM GM truck hoods and aftermarket GM truck hoods.
