Looking at a 510...Whats a reasonable price?

[rustrocket]

OK, so i just sold my 710 Wagon and am looking to get back into a 4 door 510. I've seen some here and there, ranging from $1000 to $5000 or so, for clean examples.

 

So, if you guys were looking for a clean, unmolested, rust free, in daily driving (needs nothing) condition, what would you pay?

 

Thanks!

Around 4500 for one that's meets the above criteria

Yep, plan on $4500 or $5000 as a reasonable price. It will be much much cheaper if it needs a little TLC.

No RUST!!! Every dimers dream.

I'm a cheap bastard. I prefer $350 510s. That's how much I bought mine for. No rust. Just a screwed up rear control arm and quarter panel.

 

But here's a thought: All running vehicles over 30 years old are worth $50. Not a typo. Any more than that, and you've lost a shitload of money because of all the money you're going to dump into it. Sad, but true.

They used to be worth $50. Now a wrecking yard will give you $200 for any old car. Some won't as a matter of principle, but some will. Scrap went way up the last coupla year...

post your location please

Location updated, i'm in the SF Bay Area. $4500...wow. I guess that's what i expected, but was hoping for a little less with this economy. Seems like it's easier to find a cleaner 240/260/280z for the money.

That's a buzzkill if i've ever heard one. But agreed, it's true! I guess most of us buy these heaps knowing that we're never going to get out of them what we put in. It's still cheaper than a girlfriend, regardless of the car :-)
