ehhh rear quarter messed up? looks more like front quarter to me. Hood alignment isn't looking so hot either. from what I can see, 2500 would be a good estimate. If only one body panel was messed up... 3000 maybe

damn...you'd be better off setting it on fire and claiming insurance....
or park it in the middle of the ghetto and let someone steal that shit...and make a claim...
for the record these statements do not reflect my true views on how insurance should be used...

just park it along 18th ave in Newark NJ and leave it there for a few hours. Guaranteed some thug will take it drifting and bang it all up totalling it. Then call and collect. $$$

Are you insane. Its not just the dirtyness, did you look at the car? Its a salvage title, the door was spray painted. None of the panels nor hood line up correctly, its an 01 with a 110k miles on it so the tranny is basicly no longer covered (Prob not anyways from the salvage title) The interior doesn't match and it looks like someone took a 
on the engine and interior.GG, blow it up and hope the insurance company gives you $15 for it lol

It's got one mismatched interior door panel and the paint needs a shine. The engine bay and interior need to be cleaned.
110k on a Honda isn't much to most buyers.

its a salvage title. That knocks a ton off, and fubars the warranty.
Not all Cl's are created equal. And unfortunately this one needs to be put out if its misery...

Fair condition on that car on a private party sale is at $7,000. The car clearly isn't in "fair condition" especially with the salvage title. $6,000 would be if you polished the turd up real nice and sold it to an ignorant buyer.
Realistically $3,000-4,000 is a good guess for the car as-is.

I will tell you its that its worth keeping if you clean it up and take care of it. Judging by the pics you don't take care of it so even if you get another car if thats how your going to take care of it the value is always going to be less than market value salvage title or not. 
yep
you are correct sir

In the end, a car like that will change value drastically by region. In Massachusetts, the car is probably worth 1500-2000 at best, we have very strict lemon laws which make cars like this one a big liability to sell (you can't sell a car "as is" in MA). In New Hampshire, there are essentially no Lemon Laws on a used car, if it brakes in to 2 pieces when you drive it off the lot, Congratulations you now own 2 peices of a car! It would probably be worth a 1000 more up there, because there is no liability for the seller.
I think your best bet is if the "one armed man" were to steal it and the insurance company can buy it. Good Luck Dr. Kimball

Here in California...a salvage title pretty much kills the car, regardless of how nice you fix it up. Insurance will be an issue for the next buyer. Why not just fix it up and run it til the wheels fall off? It's STILL a CL, after all! I mean, even if you sold it for....say...3,000, what kind of a car could you get for that? Fix it up and keep it!

Yeah, but do those crappy cvcc's have salvage titles? I think that, more than anything, drives down the potentail sale price of the car. Your car CAN be cleaned-up to look good, but its still going to have SALVAGE on the title, and a lot of people in general won't even LOOK at a car with a slavage title. And those that would, will offer you far less than what you think its worth. So you're sorta stuck...either sell it cheap, or fix it up and keep it, I guess. Or maybe you'll get REALLY lucky and find someone who just HAS to have a CL and wont care about the title. I hope I can find someone like that who won't care that I have 130k miles on it...and mine has a clear title and its in excellent shape! LOL.
Good Luck.
