Default Frame rot

How much is my 2007 worth with bad frame rot? Only 111,000 miles on it. Motor and body in good condition

Frame rot is a safety concern. You might be better off parting it out. Lots of desirable parts on these cars.

Unless you're going to go through the work of disassembly and part out, its only really worth a few hundred bucks in scrap value.

When I totalled my 07 GP GXP with anout 60k on it, I was able to buy it from insurance if I paid more than their highest bid.. i want to say I could've bought it for $500 or 600. Granted you've got good body panels above mine, but I also had half the miles so Id imagine its about a wash.

Id bet you could get a few grand in part out if its in otherwise good shape, but that's a lot of hassle too with all of the for sale ads, disassembly, and shipping.

If it were me, I'd post up on some of the 3800 forums and Fiero forums - nice middle ground would maybe be someone to give you a grand or so for the whole car to use the powertrain for a swap.
