I got ~$2300 for a '90 245 with ~250k mi that got it's hood, headlights and grille crunched in that was written off as a total loss in '06. Bought it back for $400 and put about a thousand into it to bring it back together (ecodes, new grille, new hood, front cross-section that hold the radiator, various other bits). Haven't had it painted yet -

but she's still running strong at 269k mi+. Did a thousand miles last week from Anchorage to Chena Hot Springs with my parents visiting and almost didn't miss a beat. I think I'll have to do the blower fan soon, though - managed to let a little bit of the smoke as we were leaving, making me briefly scared about no fan for the 450 miles back, but the lower speeds worked fine after a short while.

Good luck,
