As a general rule, I would look up the price of a "good" or "average" one on Kelly Blue Book. Deduct from that the value of the needed repair. Retail. For example, take a car or truck that books at say $10,000, but needs a transmission. If a transmission job costs $3500, then the fair price of the vehicle should come in around $6500.
