yes, what you sell it for is called salvage or the residual value of the car after the accident. What you are suing for and hope to collect damages for are the difference between the pre-accident value and the post-accident value. After the accident the car has a value which you are receiving by sale. This is not part of your damages due to accident. I hope this helps. Regards, JBS
