that at least tells you where the rock bottom of the market is and where dealers will start buying. any car listed under that amount is highly suspect

Just thought I would let you know that if you are looking on Vettehound , beware that it is known for the same type of scams. So many that are too good to be true and they aren't.

Maintenance is important on these cars.
Make sure you do a thorough PPI.
Of course, any receipts for work done to it is a big plus.
I think the transmission is a big issue for manuals(it's someting I'm currently going through as well). It could be as simple as changing fluid, or buying a new transmission. If it's auto you're after, less risk there.
