Is $500 reasonable for a '92 Ford Explorer in good condition?

One of my coworkers is getting rid of a '92 Ford Explorer. The people that owned it before him put a new transmission and engine in it, and it has since gotten about 100,000 miles on it. The previous owners had also wrecked the front end, which left the front suspension slightly shifted to one side. My coworker says he can get the front differential for $150 and that he would charge about $150 to replace it. Other than that and possibly needing a tune up/oil change (which I can do myself), he says it's in pretty good condition, including the body. Does $500 (plus the $300 for parts/labor) seem reasonable? It is a 4-door, 4WD, and has a V6 4.0 L in it. It also has a CD player. I work at an auto parts retailer but am still learning a good bit about cars, so any feedback would be helpful. Thanks!
 
Yeah $800 for a decent condition running vehicle is fantastic. Considering I bought a door for a 1994 Explorer (same body style as yours) for $315. That was 4 years ago though, but same thing. It's a good deal.
