Default Whats a ragged out 98 TA worth in parts these days?

It runs good doesnt smoke but does have 170k on it. It has been repainted once and the interior is well worn. There is no title because the guy who owned it died and his folks refuse to mess with it or do the paperwork for getting a title. I am interested in it for the drivetrain. They want $2000 for it and i am thinking its a pretty decent deal but i am wondering what i could reasonably expect to get for the rest of the parts once i keep the engine and transmission. Thanks

Heres my guesses with "worn interior" Guessing the typically f body problems

Front Bumper - 200-250

Fenders - 150 Ea

Doors - 150-200 Ea

Sail panel - 150 ?

Wheels/ Tires - 300 depends on if abs 'chrome' and wheel condition + tire condition

Rear Bumper - 150

Exhaust with tips - 75

Dash with cracks - 75?

Worn/broken center console - 30-75

Window motors/Switches - 150

Door panels with cracks - 100-150

Hatch+spoiler - 250

Side glass - 35

Stock gauge cluster - 40

Rear quarters if you have the means to take em off - 150 Ea?

rearview mirror - 25

Other Interior panels - 150-250

Worn carpet -Shampoo first/steamclean - 50

T-tops with key - 150

Windshield - 20-50

Stock flat hood - 50-75

Taillights if in good shape no lamenating/heavy scratches - 200-250 (Should fetch 300 if in perfect shape)

Headliner - If fabric is sagging, can still use for the board - 50-100

Two Triangle rubber piece attatched to the door/windows - 25

Wipers+Wiper motor - 50-75

HVAC Dials+Fog light button/ any interior switches - 25-50

Hatch struts and hood struts - 15-35

Shifter boot if in good shape - 25

Rearend- 150

Cd player - if stock - 25 , aftermarket - depends

Stock suspension will be a hard sell with 170k on it.

Sell shell for 200 or take to the scrap yard for a few hundred I think.

So imo if you know what you are doing parting a car out you should be able to come close to funding the purchase if you don't consider your time as money. The drivetrain with 170k is worth 1300-2000 pretty much itself. Overall, you should be able to at least pay for the drivetrain by parting it out.

Well i picked it up for $1500 cash so it looks like i get to part it out. Hate that, but it is what it is.
