Unhappy camaro vs rocks and water

hey, i just got into a pretty bad accident. I have to part out my camaro but before i do i have to figure out how much i can expect to get out of the car (loan purposes) please don't ask for parts yet, it will go in the sale forums in about a week. but basically my car did 3 360's and a 15 foot jump in to a creek... sounds bad but ironicly the car made it very well... obviously the dash is cracked becuase of the airbags and the front clip is wasted either front fend is broken as far as plastics go but other then that everything is in good shape... its a 95 vert and the top is in near perfect condition... the engine still works with low mi. and tranny is in excellent shape that drive shaft has a quarter sized chip where it met the creek bed... leather interior is fine although water came in the creek wasn't deep enough to hurt the interior besides carpets. but if someone could help me figure out the value of the car that would be awesome. the rocks that hit the underside bent the frame so its totalled for sure. thanks

josh

i think the best idea would be to go and search the classifieds and see what everyone is selling their stuff for, sorry about the accident, hopefully you are ok

Probably not....water + bearings = rust = bad. Sorry to hear your misfortune.
