$2000 is good price for old 87 although the right buyer may have paid more, realizing the shape the car was in. Difficult if not impossible to prove this without a boxload of recent receipts on what was put into the car. I have an 87 saab 90t with 240K and a rebuilt engine/trans with 35k on the engine trans and it's in the shop for new front fenders and some minor rear end damage repair...I'll NEVER get what the car is worth to me when some clown hits it, but I'll repair the rust anyway. It's not an economically justifiable ride.

Your best bet may well be to take the $2K and buy another 90 or newer wagon with low mileage, so what if it costs $6K, and get on with life.
