Without A/C and cruise working, take at least a grand off the price.
IF the problem is truly minor, then fix them before selling the car.

As a buyer, I have to assume the worst possible case for repair. More often than not, the owner isn't disclosing the full extent of the problem.

As a datum point, I sold my "mint" 83 300D almost two years ago for $4250. Less than 100K on motor, 9/10 exterior, 8/10 interior, 10/10 mechanically, and everything worked perfectly. That was all the money then, and I suspect the market hasn't gone up since.
