IMHO, that car should be worth somewhere between $3000 to $5000 based on
buying experience and browsing the classified ads every sunday.  I just
bought an '86 5kcstq with 111k miles for $3500 about three months ago.
Repairs brought that total to $4000 including a new set of BFG Comp T/A's.
Fuchs 5 spoke alloys and/or sport seats should net more $.
