Hi Rick, I don't have 'your' car spotted yet but DO want to commend you for seeing that "ballpark price" you mentioned as a wise move. Just for the sake of getting a 'done' or 'nearly done' car is usually well-rewarded.
I've been on every side of this equation, from full bore 3 year long projects to turn-key ones, and unless you're IN LOVE with the "project" aspects, your thinking is right.
Best wishes to you. I'll keep my eyes open for you.
