Pretty much impossible to get one for $100. Maybe one that is completely burned to the ground with no value outside of what you get for burnt metal.. but then the auction fees and such would push you way over that anyways.

The cheapest fixable ones are usually in the $2k range. Sometimes you'll get lucky with one that doesn't look fixable but is, or one that looks like it's missing a ton of parts but they end up being in the trunk, etc. Most fixable ones are 3-5k before fees. Fees vary based on sales price but figure 1-1.5k for those sales prices above. Newer cars (17+, especially PP cars) tend to go for 6.5-10k, I've watched some go for 12-13 which are just plain stupid buys - there's no way you'll make your money back out of it and fixing one for thousands beyond that and you are sitting a car you could have just bought any day of the week anywhere else with a clean title in terms of cost.

All of the ones we've rebuilt have cost 7-9.7k to buy, ship, repair and inspect before they are legal.

If you are just building a track car and never intend to register/title/etc it you can save a bit on that rebuild (no inspection fees, no airbag repairs/etc).

For parts cars we have spent 1,200-2.5k or so before fees/shipping but those cars would be cost prohibitive to fix.

Also for that site shared earlier, only the "SOLD" ones are worth looking at prices. On Approval doesn't mean sold, it means the seller can decide whether or not to sell it and there is counter bidding built into that system so the last auction value may not be the sales price if it does actually sell. I've won the same car several times over with on approval auctions before.
