Well, dayum, I'm just wrong all the way aroumd.
It is a pretty car. I purxhased a 87 Carrera about 5 years ago in North Georgia. 81K miles, interior in similar condition as the one you're looking at, never wrecked but had had some touch up paint work (rock chips on hood, door dings fixed, etc). Not concours but presentable. A few small oil leaks but brand new tires, recent service, etc. Asking 19K; paid $15K.
The headliner on the sunroof was torn so I ended up replacing it all. Old windshield cracked so I replaced i. A few other odds and ends and I had another $2K in it by the time I got it right.
Drove it pretty much daily for 60K miles with no problems. Decided to freshen the motor as oil consumption was going up. Fortunately (for me at least) I represented the best Pcar technician in his divorce so we bartered on a complete top end rebuild, including a lot of "while you're in there stuff like crank sensors, all oild lines, clutsh, cat gypass, transmission upgrades, AC conversion to R134 etc etc etc). North of $12K if I had paid for everything.
Now it is mechanically perfect but the daily use has taken its toll on the interior, original paint. I'd value it at 12-14 but looking at prices recently. I dunno.
So I'm keeping and plan to retire it from daily us. Since I love drivimg it I'm gonna upgrade the suspension and pit it on a diet rather than do a stock cosmetic restoration.
Good luck on yuour quest
