Fair price for an '88 16V?

[doubt at inwave.com (Nate Mellom)]

Jim,
I picked this up in November for $800.  Almost no rust, cloth interior, 
lots of new parts.  Shocks, bushings, tranny, everything is nice and 
tight, rides good, the engine is almost spotless, absolutely no rust on 
the underside. But it does have a low-rpm bog (which I'm in the middle 
of working on).  Personally, I think I got one hell of a deal, once I 
figure out the bogging problem it'll be damn near perfect.  I bought it 
just across the Illinois border.
