3000 sounds fair - it depends on how much damage. You can buy a door, fender and hood for less than $500 at a junkyard. 4th gens normally go for about 5-6000 in good condition. It may be a salvage title since it was stolen and had damage.

Buy the car if you plan to do the repair work yourself, it's probably worth it to buy and fix if you don't have to pay someone for labor.

Don't buy it if you're planning to pay someone to do the repairs - it'll get very expensive, so you'll be better off buying a Prelude with no damage for a few thousand more.
