85 245 191K miles cream puff, considering buying 200 1985

This is a white 85 245 with immaculate tan cloth interior. It has a B230F, M46 runs and drives great. Only issues (visibly speaking) are a cracked to heck dash top, surface rust on the rear hatch, and a minor scuff on the wheel arch above the left rear wheel. Documented 191K miles with full dealer and Indy support documentation. AC, windows, heat, radio, and on and on and on, it all works.

Engine is leaking up front and the rear seal seems to have puked so it uses some oil although the plugs are clean. M46 shifts fine, no clunks, rattles or unexplained noises. Does need one dog dish hubcap, four tires, and an exhaust system, O2 sensor and probably CAT (O2 sensor is unplugged). Suspension bushings are great and the shocks/struts have four years on them. Yes, wiring harness has been replaced.

Now for my question, this is a 21 year old car that needs a bit of work, what is a fair price to pay for this ride? I know this is a rough question without pics, but please give it a swag. The condition of the engine doesn't concern me too much... I have a "monster" in the works.

Thanks in advance!
