Help me price my beater

I'm going to be selling my beater, just wanted to gauge some interest on here and see what you guys would think is a fair price. I wouldn't wish the car on you guys, since I know everyone here has a need for speed, and this car is SLOW. But yeah, let me know what you think would be a good price.

The Info:
1993 Ford Taurus GL
Very clean interior. Seats are like new. Back seat is essentially new. It was owned by my great aunt before she died, and I inherited it. Has the 3.0L engine. 104k Miles. Tranny rebuilt at 75k miles. New plugs, wires, and tires (<1000 miles ago). Needs new brake pads. New hub caps. Oil changed every 5k or so. All cleaned up, waxed, looks pretty good.

Ran techron through a few times, and the engine seems to have liked that, as it will drive alright. Throttle response is down, but I think it might just be a sticky throttle and I'm going to try cleaning the TB and lubing the cable today after work.

When you go over bumps, something clunks from the back. I never bothered fixing it. The suspension is a little mushy, but it's an old car. Oil was just changed <1k miles ago also. Oh, the doors on the driver side are a little funky, the back door sometimes is impossible to open without opening the front door first. The same door's lock is a little sticky, and you have to press the power lock button a few times to get it to lock or unlock. Probably just needs lubrication. Also, the car passes inspection just fine and is currently registered, insured, and inspected.

The perk:
Spent $1,200 upgrading the sound system. Alpine head unit, Pioneer digital EQ, with a 450w alpine amp powering the 4 pioneer 4-way speakers, and a 1200w lanzar amp powering the 2 volfenhag 12" subs. It sounds incredible.
