What's going on all? To make a long story short, my SR20 swapped 240sx was hit by a woman that blew a stop sign, and I'm hoping to sell the entire car in one piece. Insurance lowballed the hell out of me and $2k will get me to my break-even point for what I paid for the car this past December. I just did a rough add-up of what I could part it out for and it would definitely be over $2k, but living in NYC I just don't have the space to really do a full part-out.
So this leads me to my question... does $2000 seem fair for this car in this condition? It's got a good amount of mods and was great up until it was hit. I have had a few replies from my craigslist ad already, but I'm hoping to have this thing gone by this weekend if I can, so I'm definitely trying to make my price attractive. Any opinions/criticism would be appreciated!
CL ad link, but also copied it all below: FS: 1993 S13 240sx Hatch SR20DET (Crashed) (http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/cto/3912053265.html)
To give some background, I purchased a 240sx drift car around November/December of this past year. A few weeks ago a woman in an SUV blew a stop sign right in front of me, and I t-boned her. The car was of course deemed a total loss by insurance(they didn't count mods and valued it at $1,400), and I doubt that it would be worth fixing. Damaged parts include the front bumper, driver's side fender, hood, FMIC, rad support, and koyo radiator. The frame isn't straight but I guess it could be pulled and repaired if you wanted to go that route.
I would sell the car for $2,000 FIRM as a whole. Anything less and I'll just part it out myself, as there's plenty more money in parts in it. This includes just about everything that you would need to build a 300+ rwhp drift car, and with the head work you'll be able to drift without grenading your motor by the end of every season. Please don't bother contacting me with a lowball offer, and PLEASE don't waste my time if you expect to show up with $1,500 cash and take it away.
I've been getting a lot of people asking if the car is driveable. NO, it will need to be towed. Like I said above, the radiator and FMIC are damaged, so I wouldn't attempt to start the car.

The car has a lot of mods done and was built as a drift car. Unfortunately, I only had the chance to do a handful of parking lot slides before the car was hit. I put together a mod list off the top of my head, but I'm sure that there are things that I'm forgetting:
- SR20DET Red Top - ~60k miles, has about 5k on the newly worked head (3 angle valve job, tomei rocker arm stoppers, bronze valve guides, cometics gasket, ARP studs)
- Greddy Intake Manifold
- Greddy Oil Pan
- Greddy BOV (external dump)
- TIAL 38mm Wastegate
- New-ish eBay Turbo (top mounted)
- 6 puck unsprung clutch (very aggressive)
- B&M Short Shifter
- Welded diff
-Strut braces front and rear
- JIC Coilovers
-Walbro 255lph fuel pump
PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR:
- The coilovers are soft on the passenger side specifically, and should be revalved or replaced
- Steering rack leaked so the power steering was deleted via a looped fluid line. All parts still there, plus a power steering cooler as well.
- Cosmetically the body was in pretty good shape without many dents or anything, but it has a cheap flat black paint job. Not rattle-canned or anything, but its nothing fantastic. I had planned to buy an Origin bodykit and get a professional prep/paint this coming winter.
