Price on R53 Parts Car?

I’ve been offered a 06 parts car (S and 6 speed). It was a bank repo that the bank has not collected for over 3 years. No title. Not sure of a key either. They think it ran fine 3 years ago. I don’t know mileage or interior conditions.

Pictures show straight body but someone spray painted the chrome black. Tires are shot and wheels have some rash on them.

Guy wont set a price wants offers. Going there next weekend. What is a good offer?

Hard to say without looking at it. I picked up a clean 2005 with an electrical issue for $1K. Seen a few on my local CL for $1.5K.

Good luck!

This one has no title and probably can’t start the engine without a key.
I am thinking $250

My 2 cents, depends on options, mileage on car. Appears to have sunroof (luxury pkg), rain sensor (convenience pkg), and dual speedo/tach (navigation/chrono pkg). I might go $500 if the wheels can be refurbished. No title reduces number of people who will come to pick up the shell :(. Wonder how easy it is to get a key with no title?
