I paid more than that for my car and it had rust, dents, and 2 bold tires.

It also had 90k miles on it

I paid $950

Be sure to check under the battery tray for rust. The battery acid tends to leak on to the front clip and can do some serious damage. I assume that you plan to use only the body because of the engine being so worn, however $700 still isn't that bad.

mine was $800, its a convertable with a 2.3L auto, 130K miles, but it needed a new battery, fender needed fixed, and needed a drivers side headlight. little rust on the frame that i'll just put some POR15 on it and that car will last forever.

Back in 2005 I bought a 1990 2.3l LX. It had 138k miles on it, needed a TON of work (I mean thousands to keep it running).

I bought it for $1500 because it was my first car and I think my parents wanted me to learn what it takes to maintain something.

Within the first month I had to replace the oil pan (we had to take the engine out because of clearance).

if the body is straight $2000.00, if the engine is running strong and the body is straight.......$3000-$3500 I would think.

Paid 1600 bucks 2 weeks ago for my '93 with 51k on it. Mileage isn't verified and it was cash on the spot. He wouldn't go down any further so I made them fill it up with gas
