Typically, evaluate the vehicle as though it is running and price it that way MINUS the cost of repair. If it is otherwise perfect and might be worth $12K but you have been told it will be $4K to replace the engine, ask $8K. Because it is not running a buyer cannot evaluate the rest of the vehicle (trans, diff, brakes,etc) so they are going to offer much less. I have passed up vehicles like yours priced at $3000.

 

$6000 less then the going price in your area, or more.

 

What if I had an engine to go with it? I know someone who has one. Or how cheap do you think I could get that engine installed?

 

$1200 to $1500 based on parts needed and with no other issues.
