Bought mine for $1500; 150K miles, strong engine, very good trans., straight body, records back to 1990, previous owner put more the $10.000 in the car over the last 12 years, AC not connected, radio not working, heather works most of the the time.

Since I bought it I put another $2400 in it, nothing big; new tires, valve adjustment, replaced upper and lower ball joints on the right side, trans. flush and adjustment, had to fix the 1/4 left window, new mats etc. I soon will need new shocks, new glow-plugs and a new front window seal.

What I'm trying to say is expect some extra cost, especially with the transmission, but maybe flushing and replacing the fluid will solve it.

It's not that hard to get the special CD parts, but they cost more, only around 10.000 CD's where build.

With the transmission in mind I would offer $1800,-.
