Thanks guys , I checked out the NADA book as well as several other sources but nobody gives values for non-#`s matching cars, unless that`s what they refer to as a parts car. A parts car is exactly what I`m looking for and $1000 -$1700 would sound like a fair price if the majority of the parts are good.It`s amazing how much the smallest parts cost and with a spare car I would probably save money in the long run. Cudajimmy, you`re lucky to have bought yours 5 years ago, as the prices are commensurate with gasoline prices. Ironic isn`t it?
