You said 2x 4500, so he's asking 9K... I think 9K is a little high. Looking at the facts, it's an '87 (first year for North America having that "first year cool factor" but also the "first year - has more bugs, and they made a **** ton of them year"), so take $250 off the price for that alone.
Down to $8,750 - it's black. Also can be looked at as good or bad, but you have to look at this car the way the current owner obviously did - as a collector car, so use collector car sense. Black was a very popular color, and they made a lot of them in '87 - it also does not have the more rare polished T2 wheels (minus $250), nor the optional wing (minus $150), nor floor mats (minus $50), I'm pretty sure PS wasn't an option on the '87 T2 but I could be wrong... so now we're down to what $8,300? I'm not gonna run through all the options, but I'm just saying how I would look at it and what I would pay.
I'd honestly say $8300 is the MOST I would pay... take into consideration the area the car is in and how many other FCs there are, does he have all maintenance records and original documentation on the car? The LEAST this guy will probably take is $7300 - and thats a big IF.
If you do buy it, whatever you do - be nice to it... keep it original and clean. If you want a race car, buy another one. I had a friend of mine buy an '87 w/ all the options I mentioned above with 80K on it (was still very clean) and DESTROYED it in less than a year... I hate seeing ricers ruin what is becoming a VERY hard car to find in that condition.
