If the body is rust free it is worth more than 1000 imho. if you are looking for a reliable car though you will probably have consideralby more into it to get there. If the glow plugs are not working that is usually the most common reason for not starting. There is also a strip fuse in the glow plug relay that can go out occasionally.

Its pretty hard to tell from pics but the car looks reasonably clean.
