not to go OT... but you'd be surprised what a car like that is worth if it is clean with no stories. I just took a 1991 with 96k miles in trade for book value, thought I paid a bit too much for it, and I was shocked to see it sell at auction for almost twice what I took it in for.
Part of it is seasonality, part of it is that book values are not that relevant on a car like this (kind of like how even to this day clean E30's sell for crazy amounts of money).
