Bid ceiling

Bid up to US$1,400 to land at 70% of ACV all-in, fees and the listed repair estimate included.

No repair estimate is listed, so this leaves repairs out — inspect before relying on it. A rebuilder's rule of thumb, not advice: bid, fees and repairs under about 70% of what the car is worth. Your target may differ; the calculator has every switch.
