Mate, there as so many things that could be the difference between 3-5k easily. Try Redbook for a roundabout figure that should give you a starting point. Then search carpoint and carsales and try to get a better idea. Then have a mechanic look over it. That way, you will not break the bank when the car breaks your heart.

wen u go to see it squeeze the top radiator hose if it crunches then there is a lot of crap inside the engine that has corroded off the heads etc check the fuel tank for any damage such as scrapes that could cause further problems. and check all the fluids. this should giv u a good idea of whats going on with it. ask for a test drive as well. especially the oil wen u take the cap off should be on the right hand side rocker cover look to see if theres any milky residue this means that either a gasket has blown,or a heads cracked, very important! good luck!
