Dude I got mine in perfect mechanical condition for $500.
It had a cracked tail light and front blinker.
Apart from a tiny bit of rust it's in perfect condition.
But hey, if you can get $2,500 for it good on ya. You're a seller and your aim is to sell for the best price.
My mate is looking for an ae82 hatch.
If you'd get rid of it for 750-1000 I'll take it off your hands
