Ayyyyy, same year as mine. I've got the same thing with the third brake light oxidizing and bad top motor, but I half-assed converted to manual and took out the motor, so I just have to put the top down the old fashioned way. Their paintwork is probably in better shape than mine though, but I picked mine up in similar condition for close to 1500. Interior reminds me a lot of mine when I got it, ratty driver's seat but mostly okay passenger and rear.
However, they have a more desirable color, crack free dash, and everything looks OG.
I'd go 2500-3k on it because it's a vert, though. Verts aren't anywhere near as desirable, sadly.
I think it's probably somewhere in the 5.5-7k range considering todays prices. That said, I'd probably pay nothing without inspecting or having an impartial shop do a PPI on it first.
The seller won't answer any of my questions about the car...he never responds back. You think I should take that as a red flag and walk?
Not necessarily. I consider myself an extremely honest person especially when it comes to selling my things on eBay. I have a very high rating and my concern for the buyer to feel satisfied with the transaction is important to me. That's just who I am. BUT, I'm also a very busy person and sometimes eBay alerts get put on the back burner or lost in the dozens of work emails I get a day. Wait for the response and see how they conduct themselves. People reveal a lot about themselves with how they converse with people. Apologies go a long way, and the more detailed the story about why they couldn't get back to you, the more bullshit it is.

I had a quick phone call with him and he didn't offer much. Said the car was sitting because the brake master cylinder was bad and he bought it as a project car. No compression testing was done on the engine. It also has a cracked dash that he didn't mention in the ad.
Too bad it ends today it, I'd like to hear what someone thought about it when they see it in person.
