If it is in excellent shape (including the top, body and interior and no rust), and the auto box is currently working, that would be a good price in southern california. no doubt you can negociate a little off from that price. If it runs now, and if you are a competent DIY you could consider getting this car and then keeping your eyes open looking for a complete 900 5 speed donnor car (a crashed car with no damage to the engine is great). while there are variants in the 5 speeds internally, and several different "final drive" ratios, in reality any of them will mate up with your engine. So, at a future date you could convert to a 5 speed, it does take some work but is well documented, and figure that cost into your total purchase price. I would budget, on the high side, $1500 if you and your mech friends will do all of the labor. This amount would include new bushing and hoses and belts and the typical items. you should be able to find a used engine hoist for less thant $100. often people buy a new one, use it, park it in the garage, and later sell it. If you find a donnor car for a song then you are that much ahead of the deal.
just a thought, you can use it to plug that hole in your head... :)
