You really cannot go off of the blue book values for these cars. Kelley rated my 88 w/ 110k miles at around $9750 or so...I then entered my 87 w/ 38k miles and it really didnt change. A car w/ 55k miles on it that is in good shape and hasn't been hit is worth more than 10-12k in the market. What you see people asking is a better indication than the blue bookI would pay 15k for a car in that condition if it checks out OK. You should try to get a family discount:)Good luck
