Hi g,
I agree with dd; can't even make a guess based on your limited information.
You must have some idea if you offered $10k.
Regards,
Alan

I've never been bashful about pricing any item I truly intended to sell. I think you might find it difficult to purchase this car since the owner seems unwilling to state his expectation for price.

DD is right on. Right now, it could be worth $4000 to $15,000. And just because it may be worth that range doesn't mean you should buy.

It could cost you $5000 to $40,000 to make it right, on top of what you have to pay him.

Go get some pictures, and then we can tell you buy, how much, or run.

Obviously, he thinks more than $10K...and he's the seller.
