If the car is not running, no more than $900-1000

he said it started up and only smoked for a few mins.

there are other factors like suspension/body too.

make him an offer.

i wouldnt' go over what icemark said it it didnt' run. But if it was exceptionally clean or had other new things it might be worth more.
