Need pics mate.

It could be full of rust, damaged, etc.

I would have thought $1200-$1500, but if it is in good condition then it could fetch over $2500........

Need more info.

I bought an 85 drover with minimal rust which had done 360,000km for $1000. Gearbox was apparently rebuilt and so was the motor but if they had been they must have put the original bearings back in as they are both well and truly shagged (didn't realise until a month or so later tho).
Look for rust above the wheel wells particularly in the back and listen for any gearbox whine as they quite often get noisy near 200,000kms. Rust is the main killer of zooks and lack of maintenance as they are a cheap car and they are treated as such by many people.

Without pictures as everyone else has said, I wouldn't bother.
Rust in the chassis sounds pretty bad to me :!:

Keep looking, you'll find a reasonable one for a good price if you look hard enough ;)

Rust in the chassis is a no go I reckon to hard to fix properly and I'd be a bit sus about driving a car with knowing it could have it rusting out from other spots in the chassis that you don't know about.
