      I echo what Atomic said, I don't think I'd go higher than $700.
      I'm used to PA prices, where if it runs and you can't see through the rust patches it's in pretty good shape.

          The car is running and was running great when I drove it home an hour away from where I bought it.

              Good you were able to get it cheaper... Cash ALWAYS talks when dealing.

              Glad it runs, just get the needed maintenance behind you asap before jumping into the visual mods...

                            You bought that car on the cheaps I'd say, even if it is a slushbox.

                            As posted previously, replace the water pump, timing belt and tensioner first thing.
