Depends on how well its been built, and whats in it.
Made from all scrapyard parts £2k
Made from brand new or decent parts £5k
Decent split rim alloys and top range tyres, Top tuned engine, sequential gearbox, top line gauges, alpha / emerald injection system with Jenveys, etc etc £10K and upwards.
Bike engine £????

It depends on a lot.

The owner will be expecting £14,500 (seats extra), so your real-life offer of £3,500 won't get you the car.
Your options are then to walk away, wait a few years, until realism dawns upon the owner of the car - by which time it's a rusty seized pile of scrap (though it'll still 'owe him' £18,000). Alternatively, if you like that particular car, what you pay is up to you.

But yes, a rough old nail isn't 'worth' much at all, a nice example a few thousand. Difficult to polish a turd with carbon, so don't get carried away with the fripperies.
