Buying a '75 1.8, Approximate Value? Options

[BMartin914]

I recently came across a 75 1.8 for sale. The only problem is that the car is several hundred miles away.
I have correspoded with the owner and plan to see the car in a few weeks.

The owner describes the car as being in "very good condition." The car supposedly has very little/no
structural rust, battery tray rust, long. rust, etc. The car does have one very visible spot of rust
on the pass side rear qtr panel. Rust through caused by a loose piece of sealing foam. The car also has
the typical 1st gear synchro problems -- tough to get into 1st when stopped, shifts fine when shifted
slowly.

I am trying to feel out the value of this car. I am thinking $2500-2800. What would others offer for a car in
similar condition?

I have a couple of pics that i will post to give folks some idea of the car.

The car is located in Northern NM (Santa Fe area)

When asked about rust the owner told me that before he bought the car he looked at it very carefully. He tells me that he has owned Porsche cars in the past and knows what to look for (when it comes to rust) and also knows how to prevent it.

It is his belief that he has done everything he can to keep the car "tight" in order to prevent leakage and rust. I think that he has only owned the car for 3-5 years.
