David,

    Total up the price of all the parts you're going to need;
add to that towing  costs, mental anquish & hardship (ever try
selling used extra LBC parts in the local paper?).  Subrtact from
that how much you can get reselling the parts you don't use;
  That is a way of detirmining what the car is worth to you. Then
use that as your highest settlement price you'll pay. Start asking
at about 2/3 that.


Example:  Needed-Engine cost                           + $300
                Tow cost                                            + $100
               Yeah, but I gotta do all the work cost   +$100
               What can I get for tranny, body, interior -$200
                TOTAL (What it's worth to you cost)    $300
               *Start bidding at                                     $200
