Yeah, I'm fairly certain I could probably get $3500 or so for it, largely due to the records on the timing chain and guides as well as a bunch of other things that are new. Also, one-owner (well, technically 2 owner, but in the same family for 21 years) purchased new at the dealer. In all fairness, I got it from the previous owner needing a little bit of work. The rear windshield needed replacement, though he did include the windshield and a brand new seal inside the trunk. The rear driver side window was inop, but a $10 plastic sliding clip from the dealer and a couple hours of my time fixed that. The rear door panels weren't installed, and the rear deck shelf had been removed and was stripped. He included a huge roll of new matching fabric in the trunk, so a can of 3M adhesive and an hour later it was recovered and reinstalled.

Like I said, all in all just little things that he could have done himself and sold the car for a lot more, but he's a straight-up guy and just leveled with me that he lost interest and there was some pressure from the wife to move onto another project. I was in the right place at the right time, and he just lives a few minutes from me.
