Default 89 coupe - value

We bought a convt c4 and stuggled with selling the 89, the 89 has 259,000 miles on it and a number of things that need to be repaired or replaced (head gaskets, A/C, seat covers, targa top, small paint blister on the hood). It was repainted about 6 years ago Dark Bronze Metallic, Dynamat and black mass carpet; rebuilt 1 3/4 stearing rack, Pioneer radio and speakers. Int door panels 3 years old. Any ideas on what it might be worth?

259K without a rebuild, nobody is going to go nuts with a price. Must see pics but that mileage, and a head gasket problem, not much.

1-2k. If you fixed all those issues, it still isn't worth much more than that, maybe 2-2.5k. People just won't pay much for those high miles.
