That depends. You can pick one up for a few hundred with a pretty good body. I paid $2,500 for mine. '89 TII with no rust. It was a little steep but I was looking for a while and became impatient. If you have time or luck you'll find a great deal eventually. Look at 1revvin7's black TII or camel's. Bought for dirt cheap!

I'd say, here in the northwest, if you can find a rust free, straight frame, good interior, minor body work, blown engine TII (assuming the engine is the only weak mechanical thing), you should pay about 600-1000 for series 4 (86-88) and 1200-2000 for series 5 (89-91). That's around the going rate or at least what people end up taking around here.
Of course, sometimes you'll find a good deal or a stubborn seller and you could take a grand on either side of those estimates. Just be patient and bid low

For instance, I purchased a straight 1st gen body with a large amount of excellent parts, stock and aftermarket, for $300. I've also been approached with a 2nd gen rolling race chassis that the guy wanted $3000 for. Shop around then ask specifically what a car is worth, or just offer what it's worth to you and hope for the best.
