I agree. I paid $3000 for mine and it is mechanically sound except I need to find out where this fuel leak is coming from, it needs a repaint because of sunroof rust damage and she is overdue for a major tune-up and the seat springs are weak, need replacing. Mine only has 180K miles. So after all said and done $5000 sounds fair for the Texas car.
Asking price is just greedy.
