with the rims, new tranny, new tires, etc. and provided all the "little things" are in good shape (aka window switches, wiper motors, abs sensors, brake rotors/pads, etc.) I'd say that 6k is about the most you'll get.

i just graduated college. i bought my svx at the beginning of junior year with 113k miles on it and now, just about 1.5 years later, it's got 150k.. there are a lot of little things wring with it, and i could never get more than $2,500 for it. I'm planning to sink a good chunk of my graduation money into it and hopefully have it last me another four years.. i'd like to get it to 200k before shelling out the cash for another car.
