Parting out my truck. What's its worth?

[Diego0123005]

I come here to ask for some help. My truck was wrecked. police put both parties at fault. Point is, i did not get reimbursed. So now im left with my truck that doesnt run or drive. Im parting it out. I would like to know how much i should sell it as is as a whole, or try and part it out. To give you some detail all the damage is on the rear end. Ex: Bed, rear axle, drum brakes, with the exception of the front bumper i broke by trying to drag it in my back yard. Ill post some pictures. But i would like to know how much i could get out of it as a whole, or if i should just part it out. If i do part it out, how much should i sell each thing for? Ex: motor, trans, interior etc. After the crash, initial impact, the truck was still running. When i got it back from the tow yard 2 weeks later, i hooked up some jumper cables but wasnt able to start it. Truck had charge but wouldn't crank over. Maybe fuel lines disconnected. Not sure.

When you say "Truck had charge but it wouldn't crank over", do you mean the starter was working and the engine was turning over but wouldn't start, or that the starter wouldn't even turn the engine over? The reason I ask is because if it turns over but won't start, it may be well worth your time and $$ to find out why and get it running. Being able to listen to an engine run will add several hundred dollars over scrap value.

I could hear the starter click but the engine wouldn't crank. Then again i tried jumping it with a puny honda civic. I Had my friend tell me that when you get in a car wreck the fuel lines disconnect so the vehicle won't catch fire. Dont know if thats true or not

I would give $250.

I've never heard of them cutting the fuel lines, especially since it would be much easier to just pull the fuse/relay for the pump. Even if they had cut the fuel lines, that wouldn't stop the engine from turning over. Again, if you can get it running or even get it turn turn over with the starter it's worth far more money.

Best wishes,
Steve

Damn must have been one hell of a wreck to knock out the rear end

Good luck

 

[vic_v8]

depends on your location, I know a guy looking for some bigger parts

they wouldn't cut the fuel, cutting the fuel lines would result in @ bare minimum of the fuel in the lines leaking out & causing a potential fire hazard.

well if they were smart they wouldn't .
