Not a bad price for a parts car.
Of course the car ran 2 weeks ago, but that was before the timing belt broke. I doubt the owner disabled the starter, but a bent valve or 20 will keep the engine from turning over. Trying to push start it will just make matters worse.

Because this is a manual tranny, go out and get an engine from a junk yard. Preferably a high pressure turbo 2.3L from 1994/5 with all wiring intact and its ECU. A fun project!!!
