I'm a newbie, so take this as a FWIW, but I asked myself this question more than a few times when viewing cars on E-bay. Being a numbers guy & wanting to be able to trust my car, I approached it like this...
Assumed Avg. Retail -- about $18k +/-
Assumed total engine rebuild -- deduct $8k
Assumed tranny rebuild & new clutch -- deduct $3k
Assumed replacement of other key
essentials (steering, brakes, belts tires,
and anything else you can think of...) -- deduct $5k
Assumed Total deducts -- $16k +/-
Delta = a fair deal = $2k
Might be bad logic, but at least it's logic. Looks like gt3racerich wasn't too far off. I don't think anyone will take $2k...could be parted out for more if the owner likes hassles.
Good luck,
