The biggest issue by far on the ES is rust. It is sneaky on that car, and a small surface bubble can easily turn into a major piece of rot when you look into it.

The only other major issue is any repaired damage. Fixing damage on this car is tricky, particularly to the front end. Hard to get everything lined up right for some reason.

The drive train is basic and pretty much all the bits are available. Some of the interior pieces can be pricey, but are generally available. The key above all is rust.

I haven't really priced these in quite a while. I would look at the classifieds here and other places, and do a search for completed items on ebay. Should give you a ballpark.
