I just bought an 85 GL Camper with 102K and minimal problems for $5200.
Higher than book value, but less than a lot of the posts I've seen here and
on eBay.  One I saw last week or so (an 85 GL Camper) was going for about
$9000.  That was pretty gratifying.  I think as cars get older, their blue
book value gets less and less accurate since there are so many factors.
