I am suprised nobody has pointed you toward the FAQs at the top of the page. Pretty much everything you should be looking for will be in there or one of the links it gives.

 

I wouldn't offer more than 1300 (definite max). 293k on the body is a lot of miles and a lot of wear and tear. Also, in 6 years god knows how many miles have been put on the engine.

As with any car with ~300k miles, things are getting very old and worn out. Some major problem parts include anything rubber and anything that moves (yes... anything that moves). You also need to look out for rust. Depending on where you are in KY, the snow/salt could cause problems.

I paid 1600 for my 86 Sport with ~120k miles on it. Since I live close to you, the prices should be somewhat the same.
