As a buyer there should also be a discount for the unknowns due to the fact that it can't be test driven. Is the transmission any good or are the synchros shot, how creaky is the suspension, does the A/C work, do the brakes work, does it pull, etc. If the seller has owned it for a long time, has maintenance records and there is a mechanic that can vouch for the car, that discount can be less. Just my $0.02.
