FWIW I paid 6750 for my 86 300 SDL about a month ago. I would rate everything in "very Good" condition on the car. There is a tear in the seat, and there is one small pin sized rust spot on the door and several door dings that need to be knocked out. Other than that the car is in very good condition. It had 153,918 when I took ownership.

Did I over pay? Maybe, but I really wanted the car. I figured that if I got a car that was well maintained and in very good condition it would save me money in the long run.

Good luck with whatever you do.
