Bid ceiling

The listed repair estimate alone is over 70% of the retail estimate — there is no bid at which this lands under it.

At today's bid, all-in with the repair estimate comes to 147% of the retail estimate.

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.
