always be friendly... in this case cheerfully asking how bad his wife wants it out of the yard might be a good starting place. then go right to $50 if that doesnt work and work up from there. if it can be made to run it would be worth a lot more. just for the motor. an unrunning rusty musty car is not worth much. several hundred is enough....plenty. good luck.
