Mordy,
Having just spent the better part of three months trying to locate a
good donor car for my broken race car, I can give you some input. The
way you discribed the car it sounds like it's worth more than $10,000
even here in the states. I was willing to go up to around $8,000 for a
car and could not find anything that was decent. The good ones were
more like $12,000 to $15,000.
Good luck!
Jeff
