Default 89 GT

What would you pay for a 89 GT that has sat in a driveway for about 5 years? Decient shape with little rust? 5 speed. Clean interior. What would i have to look out for with a car thats been sitting?

Mine sat 4 years.. I paid $1700.. I believe the son started it up everynow and then though. I bought it from an older lady that took it from the son cause he owed her money.. It had 92,000 miles..

Here is how it was

Yea good question.. On mine the only problem i had with rust it is that where the sway bay attaches to the body is rotted (driver side). So im prob gonna take it off for now until i get it welded.. Its a common thing with these cars cause my welder specializes in mustangs and has done this a numerous amount of times.
