They ate pivot bushings and bearings, and the rears had a fair bit of cracking issues over the years. It's not a bike I'd be jumping or riding crazy aggressively on at this point, let's put it that way.
Plus, it's just a plain dated design, with quite old shock and fork technology. There are many, many, many bikes that will ride and pedal way better.
If you like it and are happy, that's all that matters. What it's worth is what you can get someone willing to pay for it. It's not a particularly coveted classic, and that one looks to be fairly beat down besides. Other than the XTR stuff that you're adding, there isn't really anything high zoot on it. You'd sink more money into the thing to shine it up than you'll ever get out of it selling the thing. Ride it and have fun.
