Pleyel Grand value??

Don't see Pleyel grands in Ottawa much.

Approx.  7'6'grand.
 #166,666, Pleyel.(Paris)
victorian style hammer butts.

Very  recently "rebuilt", strings, pins, block, soundboard shims......

The shims are coming apart. A good 2 mm  opening along
shims in some places. The action does not work, literally,
blocking, sticking, failing due to the state of the regulation...
.so on.....
but very nice refinishing!,

The soundboard must be redone, the action must be redone.
She wants to sue the previous rebuilder for part of the $10,000
work done.

The problem is she has been told this instrument is
worth $100,000 and she will not be convinced otherwise.

So, not being familiar with Pleyel grands, I hope the list might
respond:

How much is a new Pleyel grand. There is a dealer out of Florida.
Any opinions/help about value range, min.--max, for Pleyel pianos of
this age are appreciated.

                                   Thank You
