Yep. That is an immobiliser emulator.

As a minimum you are going to have to get an ECU, ignition barrel, immobiliser antenna which will set you back�1076/$1710 new! Even then that isn't going to get it anywhere close to running. It's also a 2008 model, eight years old and probably would only be worth (here in the UK) maybe �2500-3000 in good roadworthy condition with an unblemished history.

As others have said, by all means bid on it, but set yourself a rigid maximum bid based on its value as spares... and stick to it. If you win and it looks like it can be restored economically then that's great, but if its a lemon you can get your money back in parts and walk away.

Personally speaking, I wouldn't bother with it unless you can get it for less than �400/$650.
