Just kidding...a man can dream.

Sounds like maybe 6-8k

I'd pay ~7k, depending on the paint condition. It's had a lot of expensive stuff done to it, and put on it, recently, which I would consider. Some people wouldn't, however.

If you still got the stock parts, you will probably make more money by selling off the aftermarket parts seperatly.

I just picked up a 90 535 5-speed, 132k always kept in the garage, well maintained. 255/50r16 Bridgestone pontenza RE940 on basket weave wheels, with a few other upgrades, And it drives great. For $4800.
