Help me price this 1993 MV out?

[BeepPeep]

I bought Eurovan last year, sunk a bunch of money into it, enjoyed a few nice road trips, and am now feeling guilty about it sitting in the driveway. I would love to get what I put into it back out, but really just need to know what a realistic price for it is.

1993 MV, 5 spd manual transmission, back seats fold down into a bed + it has the table and rear facing seats, but not a pop top or full camper. It had a lot of differed maintenance so I had the following done by a mechanic between January/March:
- new tires and battery
-front breaks pads and disks, back cleaned
- water pump, coolant hoses, thermostat, fittings in cylinder head, timing belt, timing belt tensioner, serpentine belt
-CV boots and joints
-upper and lower ball joints
- shift linkage bushing
-spark plus, caps and roto, and valve cover gasket
- transmission flush
- transmission engine mount
- new heater core, heater hoses
- new ignition switch
- Yakima roof rack
- new basic radio with bluetooth and new speakers

It has been fun and reliable for a couple of trips, no leaks, burns a little oil, and needs the coolant topped off on long trips. It had no problems passing California emissions testing.

The bad:
- Salvage title
- 214K miles
- air conditioner squeals (but heat and air work great)
- peeling window film
- slider door trim is broken so a few of the snaps for the blackout curtains don't work
- stained carpets
- dents and dings on the body, ugly white paint (but no rust)
- cupholders are missing
- full sized spare is old but holds air (not replaced when I did the tires)
- the tem and gas gauge sometimes don't work (usually at higher speeds, they just go to 0)

Any resources for establishing value?

As a side, how many of you have a van that just sits most of the time?

3-5k in the PNW.

5k in good shape - probably 3k as described

There is dealer warranted 1993 EV with fewer miles for 6k, loaded, everything working in OR for example

Thanks, that gives me a bit more to go off of. Locally, all I’ve seen is for MV’s is one in similar exterior condition with a blown head for $1,500, and one is really nice exterior condition and 185 miles for 8k. And of course listing prices don’t necessarily mean selling prices.

Stpehen Hawkings last notebook revealed the derivation of this:


Actual Value = * f(FLP) * (0.33) * SLP G(exp (time on samba/4 weeks)

where SLP = samba list price

f (FLP) = ( 0.1 if flipper, 0.99 if not)

which translates as 1/3 ask of it sits for more than 4 weeks
