need more help pricing another car
found another car I like, owned by a former enthusiast, I think...
its a 91 and his description is
"Has 150k + miles on it. Has a blown 95 s14 ka24de. Brand new water pump, radiator, spark plugs & wires. It is not driveable. Perfect for an engine swap. Make an offer and I'll also include s14 seats, 91 s13 service manual, and stock s14 cd player."
its got a blown headgasket.
here are some pics:
Im thinking of offering 1200... what do you think?

The way I look at it is :
- it's a 13 year old car that doesn't run
- has 150,xxx miles on it
- has a real bad dent it the rear quarter
- messed up fender, bumper and headlight
- the paint is fading off the rear bumper
After you fix everything wrong with it you'll have spent more than it's worth. Even a $1000 sounds really high to me.

well, heres the thing
Im painting it flat black
doing an engine swap
and the headlight ony doesnt go down because the position of the dent, and the bumper is polyurethane, so it can be popped back into place.

I agree if it only had those problems, but that giant dent in the rear will cost an arm and a leg to fix. You may not care, I just don't think it's worth that much with that dent. 
Whatever you do good luck.
