Depending on the condition, anywhere from 12 - 15k would be your price range. Check the usuals like service history, has 100k service been done (timing belts etc). Check for previous body damage & uneven tyre wear. Any smoke coming out the exhaust....
Im sure other folks on here will add more

Km's are not what you should be worried about...(to an extent).
Find out if the car has been well maintained....you can judge this by both the character of the person selling....and through any documentation they might have.

where abouts to u live because im selling my 95 GPX and has only done 77,000kms. Its silver and its tiptronic.
The reason for the low kms because i bought my MR2 6 months ago!

I picked up my stock GPX 95 manual for $12300 and it had 147 kms. it had the timing belts and stuff changed and has had no major problems in the year that i've owned it. If its in good condition, i'd get the price down as much as you can and buy it.

Yep it's not really the KM's that are important, just look at the general condition. I saw a 25,000km '97 whose interior looked like hell, definetly been thrashed pretty hard. Ended up with a 145k '95 in almost perfect mechanical knick. Careful with the GPX's though as they tend to develop oil leaks with age.
