That's an easy R/R - remove the driver's side kick panel and it's located

If it cannot be driven, you have no idea what it is worth other than the
scrap weight. Suspension, air conditioning, transmission, differential,
engine; all are suspect and could be bad, not to mention brakes, radiator,
tires,
Ask how much it will cost to do the work that caused it to be brought to
