My first thought is why isn't the owner putting that used 52K engine in the WS6? At least that way you really know it works and wasn't wrecked along with the car it was pulled from. You don't know squat about that engine. Better that you pull your own engine from a car you know was running before it "crashed."
I thought that WS6 was clean looking until I saw the front end. A couple of pluses is that the car was not hod-rodded (stock intake and shifter still there). And it didn't fry in the Texas sun (dash not cracked). Is the sail panel blistered? Blown engine doesn't give one much confidence in what shape the trans and rear end are in....since those are probably weaker links than the engine. I think I see orange shocks in the photos suggesting original ones. And the AC system has the orig recvr/drier suggesting AC work soon to be done.
I guess the WS6 with 108K miles, no front end damage, and a running engine would probably be worth in the $8K to $10K range....and probably the lower end. As a price point, I was offered a 2001 WS6 M6 with 31K 1-owner miles for $10K. The kicker was that the paint was totally shot, the seats and carpet were shot, the tires were bald, and the underside was caked in dried mud. The owner beat on that car bad. The dealership I saw it at decided not to risk that on their customers and wholesaled that out to a small shop who painted and "fixed" the cosmetics. That car was then priced at $12K. I hope it turned out ok for the next owner.
