How much should U
I know this isn't exactly a technical question, but a lady in my neighborhood is trying to get rid of her "old" disco. Apparently, It's been sitting in her shed for 12 years... blown head gasket is what she is telling me. Odo says 45k. Now, I know the fluids have probably turned into solids by now and all rubber will turn into power the second I touch it, so there will be a lot of replacing, cleaning, etc., and of course the gasket job (+ who knows what else is broken - it's a disco..). The chassis seems to be non-rusted. The body and interior are in very good shape.
What would be a reasonable price I should offer her?

Thank you for the advice. Surprisingly it's a bit more than what I expected!
Just to sort of compare (apples to pears) someone is selling on craigslist here, their sort-of-running Disco, slightly dinged up, somewhat more miles, for 1.5k https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/c...678971419.html)
I thought a $1000 would be a very good offer...

I went and had a closer look at the car today. For starters i thought it's pale green, but it turns out it is combo of moss over BABY BLUE - what a random color for a Disco.
No critter action on the interior, but something is nesting in the engine bay.
The interior is literally like new, minus water damage on the roof liner from a leaky sunroof.
I checked the frame, but they don't use salt here, so it was more just of peace of mind thing.
Someone started the head gasket job, but didn't get beyond taking the upper intake off. The parts are all there, but the air runners were left open to outside air, (under closed hood) so I'm wondering what will I find the heads...
It for sure will be a lot of work...
