if its rusty , not much, if its registered probbaly the value of the remaining rego. $500 would be a fairly good one with no apparent rust, running and driveable, no rego.... 2.5K would be the little old ladies car mint inside, at worst minor paint work needed outside, good chrome etc either passed ...
