Go to kbb.com and fill in the blanks. You can get private and dealer retail prices. You have to subtract for everything that needs to be repaired. A sealed bid lets you offer what you think it is worth, TO YOU. Make an offer that you think would be a bargain price, but not quite stealing. If you win with your bid, you got a bargain. If not, then someone else got what they think is a bargain. The bank just hopes for the best.
I always subtract retail repair costs when estimating the value of any prospective purchase. That is what a retail purchaser would have to pay, unless they had the skills and time to effect the repair them self.

I wouldn't go over 1000. If it's been in an accident and the interior is trashed then it's likely that the owner didn't take care of the mechanicals too.

I'd bid 724.99 sight unseen.
