Question
Hi, my 2001 Kia Rio was totaled after having body work done, and two new tires put on. Is there any way you can estimate how much it will be worth? It has 76,000 miles  on it. Thank you so much!

Answer
Hi Nancy,
Your car has a different value in different parts of the country, depending on the specific model and equipment.
I suggest that you go to the following sites:
kbb.com
nada.com
autotrader.com
and enter all the information about your car and your zip code.
Each site will give you the value of your car and also have a list of similar cars for sale in a 25-50 mile radius.

I hope this information is of help.
Your feedback by rating my answer will be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Bennie
