Worth 3 magic beans?

I have seen a car that I want on EBay (and have put a bid in for it on the spur of the moment)
If I win then I will need to sell the Alfa, it is a 2000 W reg 2.4 jtd with 180k miles (lots of service history - just had a new clutch, cam belt and AFM 3 months ago) it was my old company car so I have known it since new I have seen similar ones allbeit with half the miles on them for about 5 - 6ish k
What do you reckon I would be likely to get if I put it up for sale?

Yeah it is lots of miles however as it is virtually motorway only miles since new it is actually in pretty good nick (although it was starting to feel a bit tired until it was last serviced and had a new Air fuel meter and clutch fitted which totally transformed it) Apart from the odd suspension squeak it feels like it has got another 100k miles easy
I reckon someone with an open mind would give 3k or so for it, give or take a few hundred quid up or down.
I have an audi with 211k which is faultless. As I say, you need someone with an open mind and not a 'I must buy low mileage it must be better' type opinion.
Personally I prefer higher miles motorway cars than lower mileage town cars.
What have you bid on.....

I was bidding on a Misubishi FTO GPX that I had seen however, the seller didn't respond to any of the emails that I sent so I stopped bidding and as such haven't won (it has just ended) however I had a look through Autotrader and have just come back from East London from meeting with a chap that Had 4 FTO's I have been having a look at one with 107k KM (60k miles) on it which he is selling for £3500.
It has the coolest alarm thingy ever which starts the car from the remote control (I know I am such a kid)
(He was quite good about it, I called him at 6:00, by 7:45 I had picked him up from his house in Woolwich and took him over to his warehouse where I had a look round on boxing day and everything)

I looked after a grey mivec gpx whilst a mate was overseas. Bonkers thing, the lads in work nicknamed it thunderbird4. Nice noise too.
I also seem to remember it fitted my boy in the back as well. Practical as well then, so the mrs is easily placated.
