+1.

You can only expect around 1/3 book value (tops) when selling a car a vehicle with a blown motor.

Buyer has NO idea what else will be wrong with it when he gets it running (trans/TC/diffs/suspension/brakes/electronics).

Most owners won't get a basket case running because of all the other issues, they hope a fool comes along and ASSUMES everything else is good.
