Honestly, if it has sat that long, the CIS system is going to need a distributor/WUR rebuild, gas tank probably, injectors, all CIS boots/seals, and that's going to be $2500 if you do the work minimum. Probably closer to $3-$4K as the tunnel lines should be replaced.

Reseals are not that bad if you drop everything as one, as you will absolutely have to do to do the CIS correctly.

Paint work? Interior work? On a 12,000 mile car? Guess if it was stored incorrectly back east. Then you are talking serious, serious money like $10K, $15K, or more - then the car would not appeal to any collectors who really want a 12,000 car because it won't be close to original. And that is the whole point of a 12,000 mile car - originality - and low miles.

I wouldn't pay more than $25K (probably less), seeing it needs at least $15K worth of work, and then you are at $40K - and who is really going to pay that when you can find nicer Carreras and SCS for this money probably with original paint and interior.

I guess, again, that this thread is sort of useless without photos to gauge the paint and/or interior.
