That amount of money for a disassembled car is ludicrous. You've only
got the owners word that everthing is there and working.

I'd bet big money that things are missing, even if the owner doesn't
realize it. Give me complete car in rotten condition over one that is in
good condition and might not be complete.

Also, if the car is in good shape, why was it disassembled? This sounds
like something I've heard before,
