A running G50 Carrera with sound panels and decent interior is worth $10-12k in parts.

That is your baseline. If you can pick it up for $10k or below, you can't really get burned financially provided you are willing to deal with the ass pain of parting it out. If not, and you decide to sell it, you are looking at a couple of grand lost in transaction costs.

What is it worth as a car? That question can't be divined with the information you provided.

If you are wondering how hard a hit would have resulted in a salvage title, that depends on when the accident occurred. If it was in 1990, it was a serious crash. If it was in 2006, maybe not so much. If the accident was many years ago and the car has accumulated a lot of miles since, if gives a little more confidence that the repair work was solid. But it is still a pretty significant stigma.

If it can be registered, and aligned/corner balanced -- maybe $12-15k. But there is a pretty low value ceiling on salvage title cars
