Bryan,
  Well, I picked up a used '94 A classic red up in Maryland in Feb. for 
approx $13,750 from a dealer, and that was one of the best prices we 
could find anywhere (private party included). The car has 14k miles for 
it. I think you should be able to get around $12-13k for it if the car is 
in almost perfect condition. Hope that helps!
