Crashed but driveable '96 LE - what's it worth?

No, I don't mean insurance value, I just mean putting it on craigslist and what not.

The car:




Story on the car:
96 Camry LE 4-cylinder automatic, 136k miles, was in very nice shape before the incident. It tangled with a semi-tractor on the Interstate and got sent careening off into some road barrels and then one of those giant electronic signs at 60mph. My sister was driving it. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF! The car needed no mechanical work prior to this accident.

It still runs and drives nicely, except for the steering wheel alignment being off. No pulling or wandering though. I drove it 250 miles right after the accident to get it home. Everything works, still, even the AC and window washers. Nothing is leaking, but the hood, fender, inner fender, grille, bumper, light, radiator support, and more are all toast. The black metal engine subframe/cradle, and the boxed sections that run to the bumper are intact though. It does appear that suspension work and possibly new brake lines (they're not ruptured, but look pinched) on that side will be needed too. There's also rear fender damage where the semi got her.

So, if I were to throw this in the classifieds somewhere, what could I expect to fetch? $400? $500? $800? $1000? More? Less? No, I won't be selling this to anyone on any forum. If you want it, you can find it on craigslist

Any help is appreciated, of course.

Wow that sucks, the same thing happened to me and cost $3k to replace without oem parts and not worth repairing. I would try to sell the car locally on craigslist or ebay.
