Suggestions for selling wrecked car..please help

My car was wrecked pretty bad ($9000), but was fixed by a Honda dealership. When i get it back I want to sell it, but most people aren't going to buy a wrecked car. What do i do?? Should I try and sell it independently or trade it in?

Yeah a trade in would be the way to go. Did you pay for all of these repairs yourself? I wouldn't imagine an insurance company would pay for $9000 worth of damages...

it was the other guys fault, but $9000 is cheaper than buying me a new car so the ins. co is fixing it...would I make more money selling it independently

Do what dealers often do to sell it:

Brand new Honda Civic! Over 9000.00 invested in this car! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

j/k - but you never know who will buy it...a kid down the block from me bought a 97 Civic just because it had altezzas - too bad he didn't do his research, because the car had a salvaged title on it...Just be honest if you sell privately. Then you protect yourself from getting any kind of static from the new owner...
