I can't speak for the local market in Utah (and local markets make
a big difference in price), but here in metro Boston we recently sold
our '90 90Q20V.

Pearl white (a desirable color), excellent condition, fresh mechanicals
and suspension, about 165K miles. We advertised for $6000, ended up taking
$4600-ish after about a week. Since it's an "unusual" model, sometimes it's
hard to really get what it's worth, not too many people really knew what
it was. One person asked us if it was Japanese, like a Honda. Another
wanted to know if it had auto-locking hubs (since it was 4WD). Sigh.

Also, "great" condition needs to be quantified a little further. The
mechanicals make a big difference. The guy who bought ours said he
drove several 90Q20V's, and most drove like mush from old shocks and
beat tires. Ours was tight as a drum, which made a big difference.
Cars at 132K miles need some looking after.
