around here that's a $100 car. As for KBB, they are normally about $2000
high compared to what cars bring in my area.

I just retired this car, at about 250k.  Original clutch
finally went.  I'm trying to figure out what it's worth, as
is.

Kelly claims a value of about $1,100, in fair condition.
But I'm not sure if that assumes that certain components
have been replaced at some point.  Aside from the original
clutch, it's also got the original suspension and CV joints,
neither of which indicate need for replacement.

Engine and cooling system are good.  Oil use is still w/in
spec.  The radiator was replaced probably 75k ago (when I
slid into a guard rail).  Water pump and timing belt were
replaced maybe 40k ago.

Body is decent--a few 1/4" or so dots of rust.  Interior has
held up well, though the headliner is starting to sag in places.

Aside from the clutch, the only known mechanical issues are
the master cylinder, which is starting to go; the shift
linkage is worn--won't go into 1st anymore; and the
emergency brake actuating levers (on the rear brake
assemblies) are frozen.  (Not sure if that's a big deal.)

Also, the original 15" BBS wheels are missing.  I live in
the NE and was tired of them always being out of round (much
too soft for the roads around here) so I got rid of them and
put on the 14s from my '84 GTI, which are pretty beat at
this point.

What's a fair price for this old bomber?
