OK, let's look at this from another perspective...

Someone wants to sell you a Harley Davidson with a wheel rim that is
severely bent, a handlebar that is twisted, a two-cylinder motor with a
broken piston shaft and leaking gaskets, and you're asking if the blue book
price is fair for a machine that is far from being capable of its designed
function?

This is a handyman's special. There are some serious problems that would
probably cost near as much in repairs.
