How much is a wrecked 1998 Dodge RAM 1500 worth?
Most sold for $175 to $325 at US auctions over the last 6 months, with a median of $225 across 50 sales. Where yours lands depends on the damage, whether it runs, mileage and title.
Does it matter if my 1998 Dodge RAM 1500 still runs?
Yes. 54% of the ones sold still ran and drove. Runners with light damage sell toward the top of the range; non-runners, flood and fire cars sell toward the bottom.
Should I part out my wrecked 1998 Dodge RAM 1500 or sell it whole?
At a median of $225, selling whole usually wins: parting out takes months, and fees and the leftover shell eat most of the difference.
Can I sell a 1998 Dodge RAM 1500 with a salvage title?
Yes. Buyers of damaged cars handle salvage titles every day and price the brand in. A missing title narrows the pool of buyers more than a salvage brand does, and state rules decide who can buy a car without one.
