KBB says that it would be worth $1,650 in good condition with 100,000 miles, $1,150 with 190,000+, $1,175 in fair condition with 100,000 miles, and $675 in fair condition with 190,000+ miles.
So, it is probably in poor condition?
The VIN is:2C1MR2266T6761600
I cannot get the pictures to load, but it looks like the factory green paint is pretty bad and there is a crack in the windshield that should not affect visibility.

I agree with the others KBB is a decent place to start when determining how much to sell your vehicle for. However you can't judge a vehicle just by it's asking price. Either high or low.
Evaluation of the vehicle is everything. If the vehicle is in your price range check it out thoroughly. Ask questions. Be cautious of the owner that can't answer or isn't willing to answer your questions.
$500 is a few hundred more than scrap price so I would definitely check it out. Tetanus (my project vehicle) was a diamond in the rough. The body was junk but the frame is in great shape and mechanically in great shape. The body can be repaired cheap. I have spent less on repairing rust than I did on the tune up.
