$1,000 additional value for good documentation such as lower mileage, wrecked car donor

+$1,000 additional if the engine is still in the car so you can start engine & hear it run. This is the only "Warranty" you can count on.
I am assuming that you can't start the engine or drive it to demo the transmission. If that is correct, then there is no way to prove that the engine or transmission wasn't damaged.

In these cases (you are selling "as is"), buyers have to assume the worst and will either ask for a warranty or a price reduction since they are taking all of the risk.
