I would probably shoot for $2500 if everything was solid and intact. Sitting for long periods like that is not a good thing and would play into the negotiations big time.
The seller doesn't appear to have a lot of interest in the car based on what was said, and the price may be coming from the owner. We'll see. I hate the flat multi-hole wheels and would much rather have bundts, but you take the good with the bad. Note that it has California plates. That's not good, as CA is a total PITA to get registrations and titles from. I'm going to take a look at it tomorrow after work if I can set something up with the seller. I'm thinking this could be a good car for the elder son, as the 300E, bless it's heart, is getting a bit long in the tooth and is going to need some major work in the future. I would rather part with it intact than have to patch it up to sell it. More as I know it.
