I think anybody with a 1995 with over 150k is pushing it with 2500$... If you can get somebody to pay $3,000 or more even better but your car needs to be flawless and working. No busted hatch struts. From the general description this car would be fair to good, not excellent.

You would need to have done a lot more than just fluid changes to justify charging more than $3k. Working suspension, clutch, newer radiator(cooling system), etc... Otherwise the buyer is looking at having a few hundred to possibly a few thousand in maintenance bills in the first year or two. Of course I don't value these cars as highly as some other members and I tend to go by KBB or NADA dealer price, not retail.
