What would you guys say an 85 SE is worth? It has 142K, bad compression on the engine, new clutch, new exhaust, and new starter. Interior in fair condition, exterior in good condition with one spot of surface rust.
Thanks,

the bad compression statement there is the kicker... Does it still run, or is the engine toast?

If it runs, maybe 800? If not, say 500... Of course, that may be a little low depending on the cost of clutch and exhaust...

It still runs, but it sounds like it has to be push started, or spun quite a while.

Yea, that's what I am going to try. It has been "diagnosed" with bad apex seals. So who knows, maybe the ATF will work. I have tried that on two cars already and it didn't work on either one. Oh well.
