Car is worth $14K-$16K.

Have you considered swapping the engine yourself? Can save $2-3K.

Find a cheap replacement engine yourself and then have a shop perform the swap. This could also save $2-3K.

If you're done, $4K is a decent price for a rolling chassis from a dismantler. You could make more parting the car out yourself but its a big PITA.
