I agree on the scrap yard price vs real value. But if it winds up sitting on her place, then it is another project that isn't getting done and every time she looks at it, a reminder of the wreck. And once critters start gnawing on things and making nests, the value will quickly go to near scrap price.

If it isn't feasible to repair, sell or scrap as quick as possible and move on.
