1.Close but with 200K miles and the paint issues and body damage I might say $1000-$2500.
2.see this site CLICK HERE. It says 1,789 out of 48,490 were cheyenne red.
3.see answer to 1.
4.probably needs tranny gone through and refreshed. engine may need bearings/reseal.
You need to drive it and look at it and trust your judgement. If it seems like a good deal make an offer if it's a money pit...just walk.
That seems pretty high considering the repair list. I'm an 8 hr drive from Alq, NM....

ive seen that one. i look around the NM area since my mom lives in carlsbad. the one i posted caught my eye cuz of the color. its sick and my price range is about 4.5k so i dont mind looking for a fixer up and if i could pick up this one for cheap i could get it all rebuilt and come out on top. lol
What I would be worried about is resale on something like that. You're talking about putting money into a 200+k mile car. You put 2 grand in just to get it back into shape and you have 6500 into something worth 3500. Just look at it in the long run too, you will have to sell it eventually and anything with 220,000 miles is gonna be a hard sell no matter what you do to it.

Your heart is in the right place but reality will settle in after about 6 months. I doubt you will own this car very long. Ghetto Ty is right on the money with his advice. By the way, $4500 is insane!

I would pay 2 grand max for it
