Hi Tom,

I just bought my '90 Carat last August here in SC for $5700.00 (they were
asking $6800.00 for it at a little used car lot, so factor that in). It had
95K miles and was  maybe a little bit better cosmetically than yours (not
much), BUT it is not the Wolfy/Carat, so the color is the dark blue met.,
and the seats are standard fabric.They heads were just redone as well. I
don't know if that helps at all, but I don't think you are too far off on
your asking price.

Good luck! Why you would be selling your baby is beyond me, but "one man's
junk...(sorry, list!!)  as they say, right?

Scott
88 Westy
90 Carat
