Car Value? 700 1989

Hey everyone,
Well my Volvo had a good run, but the paying for premium gas and the bantering by all my friends to get a new car I think I might put it out on the market. I paid $2,000 for the car, heck I nearly stole the thing from the guy. That was about 6 months ago. Since then I've cleaned it up A LOT!!! I spent about oh I'd say 7 weeks during the summer cleaning the interior thouroughly along with the outside. I also fixed nearly everything that's broken. There are a few problems though. I'm looking to find out what you guys would think it would be worth... here's the details:
1989 Volvo 740 Turbo w/ Intercooler (4D Station Wagon)
182,000 Miles
Great Condition, NO RUST (in Wisconsin!), No Body Blemishes to be seen.
NEW Blizzak Tires ($700 for the set of four)
NEW Muffler (Midas w/ 5 year warranty)
New Battery
GREAT Turbocharger (not new but running perfect!)
Third Seat
Power Steering, Windows, Mirrors, Locks and Sunroof!
Cruise Control
Updated Premium Sound System (FROM Volvo none of this off-brand stuff)
ABS (4-Wheel)
Leather (Great Condition a few blemishes... but am fixing those)
Alloy Wheels
Topped Off ALL fluids

After all that great stuff... here's what's wrong
A/C Doesn't work... haven't found out why since i bought it
Hazards don't work yet... may be able to fix that
Lock frozen on tailgate... something's stuck
Headliner has water stains when the last guy left the sunroof open in the rain (idiot!)
Seat (Bun) Warmers don't work, lights in switches go on but no heat.
Broken Gas Guage
But... and a play off the poll today... a working Clock!!

So... kelly's blue book says $4,275
What do you guys say?

THANKS SO MUCH! It's been a good ride... and maybee soon I'll have a new one and I can come back to all of you guys who've been awesome at answering my questions!!
