How much would you pay for an MKVII?

Well, I went and bought it. Talked him down to 700. The car has 100k on it. The engine sounds good, one of the cats is rattling though. Probably could use a refresh, new bearings, rings, gaskets, etc. I'm not convinced it has E7 heads, it was an early 87, made in February. He said he looked up the VIN number, and a website told him that it had the 225HP version. I don't care too much either way, E7 heads can be bought cheap. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to score a set of GT40s.
As far as the wheels go, I REALLY want a set of those optional BBS wheels. I'll put some nice summer tires on them, then keep this set of wheels for the winter. I'm doing the same thing now with a set of Turbines and the stock steel wheels.
What's the VIN? That car could be extremely rare if it's a 1987 with the 225 hp motor.
