Totally seems fair. Mine was in similar condition, except the interior 
I'd say was in excellent condition and the car wasn't running due to a 
fuel line leak in the engine compartment which I hadn't got to. 
Therefore I listed it as "not running, but if someone wanted to come fix 
the leak they could probably drive it away." I listed it at $2K with 
lots of pics on Ebay and it sold in one day. What you could do is list 
it as "sell at a fixed price" for 30 days and try $2300 or a bit more, 
and then you can choose to entertain offers. People send you offers via 
Ebay system and then you can accept or reject them. You can also select 
a low limit on offers you don't even want to be notified about.

I've sold quite a few cars on Ebay, both late model and my VWs and 
without a doubt, it offers the best visibility of any of the online car 
selling sites.

Good luck!
