1 - Get everything fixed if it is financially doable. Especially things like timing belt/water pump which IMO is a pretty major service. The average person is unable to do it themselves and/or don't have "connections" to a friend/shop that can. Therefore, it can get costly and will result in people throwing you stupid lowball offers or passing altogether. I find selling a car that has had everything fixed and all maintenance up to date gives you the ability to allow less "wiggle room" in negotiating. Unless you suck at negotiating.
2 - Go on CL and see what similar ones are selling for. Most of what I've looked up just now are higher mileage (150-200k+) and are still going for 6000+, so I'd list it at 7000 or so. If your car is manual I would list it for abut 500-750 more than that.
3 - Unless whoever is buying your car is a high school student, less mods are usually better. That being said, aftermarket stereo is not a big deal and is probably better to keep in the car, since AFAIK Preludes did not come with USB/AUX input. The first "mod" that people usually do to pre-aux/iPod/USB cars is an aftermarket stereo, because they have ears and know that Vancouver radio is complete and utter garbage.
