23K market value
18K would be a deal
If the AC works that is a big plus on this car, also depends what part of the country you are in. In the southeast prices are considerably cheaper.

It appears to be a Euro.
When was it brought into the country?
How was it Federalized?
Is the Federalization documentation available?
Is the mileage verifiable?
These are things that affect value significantly.

3-4 owners... appears the car was brought in the US in 1991 at 43k miles....carfax at auction...
in 2002 it still only had 56k miles

Also the car is not a euro "according to the present owner, he also thought it was a euro when he bought it"...... but he said the car does have side marker lights, narrow bumperettes, and transmission cooler found on the RoW cars. The vin starts with WPA0 and not WPZZ which would be a euro...
