How do we value our cars?

any insurance company will be more than happy to work with you( when you pay them enough) i just run basic liablity, as they dont make replacement parts for my truck and theyll just say its a lost cause so i dont bother. but it also has a big part of where you live. here in evenaville, theres a painted dart thats got a crunched *** end and he wants 7k for it, rust buckets for 2k and rollers for 3k. but down south theyre alot cheaper, and out west theyre alot better and still cheaper. where as my truck is rusty and cost 600 bucks, out in cali the truck are damn near rust free and i coulda nabbed a 56 ford f100 for a grand. just take in your total parts on the car, and if you want your labor but i dont think thats fair cause its a labor of love but some ppl wanna charge for that. i seen an ebay where this guy said he wanted 7k of his price just for the use of his building and such, water, price of tools, etc etc. but at the same time on the other foot, i paid 600 for my truck but with how rare it is i wont sell it for less than 2500. so i guess im just as bad as everyone else
