Default I need advice on a 91'

There is currently a 91' first gen 4X4 5 speed in my area for sale. It is in great shape. I went and drove it yesterday and its as smooth as smooth can be. It has a new clutch with 25,000 miles on it and new brake pads. and it has 163,200 miles. and bone stock. the guy wants 6100 out of it. is it worth that ?

I saw a picture yesterday of a guy that had one come out on his first gen. It broke the timing case. I took my 93 apart and burred the case so the pin can not come out. I have yet to do my 89.
