Message First the color. Yellow is a love it or hate it type color. Personally I love the pearl yellow color however there are about 50 % people that thinks its to flashy. In the end it depends on if you are buying it for an investment or you are buying it because you want it.

Second is the condition of the paint. The z pearl yellow is hard to reproduce correctly and impossible to paint match due to it being 3 coats. If you damage any panel you literally have to redo the entire car. To me the condition of the paint is very important especially with this color.

Third the year. 90's are less desirable than the 91's due to several parts that are 90 only. Maintenance long term on things like the ac etc are a pita.

Fourth is the transmission. If its an auto it reduces value significantly in my eyes. It needs to be a 5 speed to be valuable to me.

All this being said, if YOU want yellow and the paint is good and it's not really an investment then buy it even if it means paying extra for the car. I would hesitate to put a value on the car. It is what you think it's worth. If I were to buy it, I would pay well over 12-13k if it was pristine and 5 speed.
