What's a First Gen worth?

I have been looking for a second truck to drive around in and not really modify. I figured a First Gen would be good but I don't know much about them. One I found was a real clean 93 extended cab 4x4 with an automatic, front fender was replaced so they went ahead and painted the whole truck, never been towed with, doesn't even have a hitch. Older gentleman had it with a slide in camper, the bed is scratched up but no dents. It drives good, tranny seems solid though it has a leak up front near the bell housing, shifts nice once warmed up. Power everything works and has A/C. Seats and carpet show some wear but no holes. Has some oil leaking from valve cover seals. Starts up on the first crank, no funny noises and runs smooth. 180,xxx miles. What's this thing worth. Thanks for any help.

Scott
