With those miles, if color and condition are good, and it is expected to need a head gasket, you're in the right range at $3k IMO, for retail.

It is near flawless as far as wear goes. Not even a lot of wrinkles in the leather. There is a tad of fiber wear off on the drivers floor mat but surprisingly not too much. No stains. The Zebrano wood clear coat has not started to crackle anywhere. No dash fade or sun fade and no cracks in any of the plastic parts. Appears a garaged car well maintained. Best I have looked at anyway. That partly the reason for my interest.

The color combination is that Goldish tan metalic with Cream interior. A nice color combination for the South. I wrote those codes down somewhere planning to look them up but seem to have lost the slip I wrote them on. I'll see if I can get a picture up of it. Maybe you can tell me the correct colors it has in the mean time.

I failed to mention that there is a new Water pump on there, and a new (saw a remanufactured sticker) Power Steering box on it and appears all new hoses. The wrong coolant is in the car now, but it is fresh and clear. No signs of chocolate moose under the oil cap, no signs of anything in the coolant but needs changed to be correct type.
