Its tough, these cars fall quickly into parts value without a sound engine. Mileage is pretty high. Even with a fresh motor, maybe you could sell for 6-8K. As is 2k max maybe. Only one way to find out for sure, good luck.
I pulled the oem fan shroud and put 2 new spal fans 12"
VA10-AP50 / C-61AWorks much betterReason to get gere it was over heating..the fan under the airbox wasnt spinning and i checked it got 12v and wast spinning..when connected directly to 12v it works ..but on the car was working and sometimes it stopped..when needed of course..but i was assuming bad fan since it works and stops..spals worked fine and after a while the one under the airbox also stops..it turns out harness has bad ground for the 2nd fan and it stops from time to time..gave it a proper ground and works fine..long way around at least but got performance fans on the way..solving it
btw spal fans can be more flush if the shroud is cut flat and not installed on top of oem curve in the shroud of the oem fans Cut the oem at base of the brackets that hold them and just used 4 long screws to bolt the new ones through the plastic New look and functionality
IT STARTED RIGHT UP and i drove it around. The temp stayed around 98c. I dumped a bottle of stop leaks in.
It smoked a little bit on startup but I think it was the coolant from yesterday that was left in the tail pipe...
I have it listed for 3k yep.

It will definitely help you sell it of there are no coolant jacket leaks. Good stuff and good luck.
I found a good used remanufactured engine for 350$
the dude said he was bogging/misfiring at 5-7k so he said apex were dead but he swapped another engine on and the same thing was happening. So I bet he had a clogged cat and thought it was apex seals going out. Anyways I bought it and dropped it in. Spent three days on the swap and tonight it started up almost instantly. I am still gonna sell it tho. I drove it around but there is a small jerk at 4-5 sometimes when accelerating.
