Re: [DML] Restorable or Parts Car?

[Steve Stankiewicz <protodelorean@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John.  I had to deal with a similar owner that
thought the car was worth more than it was.  Here's
how I handled it, maybe it will work for you:

Make up a list.  At the top, Start with the car itself
and list it's value in good condition at the given
mileage.  Then below that add a line for each part the
car needs replaced.  Include the part number and the
price (say, from DMCH).  You can even attach printouts
of the page from DMCH's website.  This gives you tons
of credibility.  After adding up every part eh car
needs, deduct that from the initial value you put at
the top and show what the car is "worth".  (It'll be
very difficult for him to argue with you when you've
provided backup for your numbers from a very credible
source.)  When you're done, it may say he owes you
money to take it.  So you may have to go back and
adjust some of your numbers.

Anyway, it worked for me.  Good luck and let me know
how it works out!
