I tend to agree with the others. I tried to sell mine with a new paintjob and everything working except the odometer and couldn't get $2000 for it. I decided to just keep it, since it is still a nice driving car. It overheats a little sitting in traffic (I live in Florida), but I haven't had time to figure out why. If the car drives out nice, the transmission shifts smoothly and the engine doesn't make expensive noises, have oil that looks like a milkshake, and it doesn't have TRX wheels ( you can't get tires for them) I'd offer around $1500. Since I decided to keep my car the heater core has blown, the driveshaft and half-shafts need to be replaced, so the car is worth only about 1/4 of what it was 3 months ago. These cars are not investments!
They are still a lot of fun if you can afford to keep them going.
