I have a 1989 Toyota Corolla that has a blown gasket which will cost $2000 tpo fix and may have other damage to the engine due to a leaking water pipe causing the engine to over heat.
As I have had new parts put in the car as a clutch and a radio, the tyres are in good condition and it has 187,000 km on the odometer I am thinking that the car is worth $500. I have been offered $300 on the phone from most car dismantlers.
It would be nice to sell the car to someone that could repair it and resell it but I don't think that's possible.
Any advice would be welcome thanks.

Hi Brian,
Trade me would be your best bet in order to find an enthusiast to buy the car with intent to repair and get a higher price potential.
