Appears that a car in fair shape and running has been selling for 9000 and up depending on condition

I guess Dan it is what you are willing to put in it on top of the purchase price. If it has been sitting for 10 years, you'll probably have to replace the seals. With 120,000 miles you will have to replace a lot more. If you have been watching the shows on TV about fixing up cars, you never know what you are going to find.
