My '86 Spider has 170K+ miles on it, and the driver's side seat was a 
little rough, while the passenger seat was fine. Turns out that there 
are only four metal tabs (two in front, two in the rear) keeping the 
bottom cushion on, so I swapped them (took about 5 minutes). Makes all 
the difference if the car is mainly driven with just one person in it.

That looked high to me. Turns out that your car is worth 20% more in 
California than in my home state of North Carolina (according to Kelly 
Blue Book). I figured it's be worth more, but not that much more.
