What's it worth......
1982 with 104,000 miles....A/C, Tilt and Tele, 350 cid, 4spd auto, Black Interior...
Going to look....sounds pretty clean. Maybe could buy it for 7 or 8K?

What's the overall condition? Is it in good shape ? Does it need some work ? From the pics it look good. If everything works and it's in good shape i don't know why you should not buy it at that price.

I would think you are in the ballpark if everything works and looks good... I had an '82 about 8-9 years ago and fought a vacuum leak with the CFI and swore I'd never get another one ('82)... Built the water manometer, built harness to hookup to the computer, etc, etc, etc (still have the air passage block off plugs in my tool box)... Last step was to send the Throttle Bodies to get rebuilt, but sold the car before doing the last step... Never again, whupped my butt!!!

Looks like it is painted pearl white? Ugly aftermarket rims, red calipers and beyond that not enough info to tell you what else might be non-stock, or whether there are any issues at all with the frame, mechanics, interior???????? Help us help you; go look at it, take some detail photos and report back with your findings and what your gut tells you might be the right thing to do.

Ok,,,ok I knew I'd get more info......I am just hoping the inside and under the hood looks as clean as the outside......the wheels are hideous no wonder it hasn't sold......I have some cool ideas if the car is straight and just needs some TLC and maybe minor mechanical.....
Thanks for your input....I am going to try and look at it this week........

If the rest of the car is as clean as the outside its a good price. It looks like it has been customized on the outside and that trend has probably continued to the engine and interior which can make repairs a pain in the future when you are not sure whats whats.

It looks pretty good in these pics.
You have the advantage of already owning a C3 so you know what to look for.
It may sound wierd but i'm always on the leary side with looking at a vehicle with the flashy aftermarket rims as it's usually " kids " doing that kind of thing thinking the rims make the car faster.
As long as the 104,000 isn't a well beaten 104,000 and the interior ect is alright i'd say you're in the ball park.
Good luck , hope it works out for ya
