Subject:What's a nice 90 worth?

I haven't quite made up my mind about this, but I am considering
selling the tornado red 1990 I have owned since new. It's a carat
wolfsburg edition with the clip-out rear facing seats, full size bed
and flip up table.

It has a shiny exterior with a few dings, near-perfect and recently
repainted bumpers, a new engine, alternator and starter. The front
paint is gravel-chipped from lots of miles in a nearby national
forest. The cruise control doesn't work, the central locking doesn't
lock centrally and it could use a set of rear tires. The heater was
removed this year to replace all the seals. I recently spent a grand
on a professionally redone R134 upgrade with some new hoses (none are
more than four years old) and a new compressor and condenser. Ice cold
air. Interior is near-new.

Absolutely no rust. Drives like a dream. No leaks, doesn't burn oil.
220K miles.

It's in 35758 ZIP code (north alabama).

Any ideas?

Jim
