What do you consider average condition? Bone stock or does it have some aftermarket parts? Just shooting from the hip and not seeing the car, $8500-10k.
With these cars, there is a bottom on them. I think you will be hard pressed to find a nice driver for anything less, even with hard economic times. You can find rebuilt cars with salvage titles under 8k, but not much else.
If the car is average which I consider descent paint and interior. 8-10k is right. They dont get much cheaper than that unless its salvage or needs paint or work.
