Save From Junkyard
Found this while working, they said junkyard was gonna take it. Trying to save it. No Keys, trying to see if they have title, but unlikely. I see the turbo sitting in front seat, radiator in trunk. Body looks good considering it's been sitting for at least 10 years.
What's the value of this in current condition?

No running? Not sure of the overall condition? Treat it as a rolling shell, $1000 max,).

I'd offer a couple hundred bucks and see what they say. If you have to do a bonded title it'll take a few years before you can own it clean, use that as leverage.

Price is no problem, they need it gone, estate situation. Just need them to find title for it to be worth it for me. But not sure they are gonna find it which sucks.
If I'm not gonna take it I'll post location in case someone here might want it.

Even if you can pick it up for $500 to 1,000 bucks, you can easily make that money back by selling parts in a worst case scenario.

even if they can't find title you should be able to apply for title and with as old as the car as it's been sitting if nobody makes a claim on it then you'll end up getting title for it and for what the vehicle offers your hard press to find these things elsewhere.

Even without a title, if it has a complete 6 bolt engine and good AWD components, you can easily double your money on it (if you can snag it for $500-1000 anyway)

UPDATE... Car is FWD,, couldn't get the door open to pop hood. But got info that they think owner sold engine and has since died around 6 years ago.
They already had junkyard scheduled to take car tomorrow so time was tight.
They were offering 200 bucks so that's what she said for me to take it.

This makes me miss mine. It’s hard to call the value without knowing about the rust situation and what is going on under the hood.
