Picking this up tomorrow for $15000 with 29000 miles on it.This car is mint...even has bags for window panels and everything works.....

Also just joined forum.

Congratulations and welcome to the club. I was watching that car on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140446171108&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT. It looks really nice. My son is a fan of the "Black Gold" commercial from back in the day, especially the guy with "the 'stach".

Just goes to show you - mileage is just one consideration related to value.

With rusted out floorpans and in the underbody - $3,500.00 isn't a bad price - IF everything else was as it should be in a sub 40K mile car. "Usually" but not always - the sad thing is that everything else is most likely in far less condition than it should be... but you never know.

Take the car completely apart - have proper metal work and a high quality paint job done - and that will run between $12K and $15K. Then put everything back together cleaning/detailing as you go.

For less than $20K and a year or two of work - you might wind up with a car just as good as the one that sold for $15K.

CONDITION of everything - accounts for about 90% of the market value - and Location perhaps another 10%...

Before the financial melt-down - a #2 condition 10th AE would have been closer to $25K - $15K today is a good buy.

FWIW,

Mine is all one person owned..Bought it new inside the showroom floor. Roger Miller Datsun in Riverside, CA. July 1980. My plaque number is 2789 of 3000. A sad note, It did sit in my garage not running for 15 years. Just last year, October 2010, I got her running again. I have 98,000 miles on mine. Still have the factory installed engine. Tranny has been replaced because I hit a football sized rock at night on a mountain road and it broke off the Slave cylinder off the tranny and chunked it out so bad that I had nothing to mount another slave cylinder to. I have a little bit of rust around the windshield area. that has to be addressed soon.

The stash guy rocks!!
