I am on the other side of this question, with a C&C 27 Mark III that I need to sell as I am moving; and I won't be near any decent sized lakes. I'll probably get a small sailboat that I can trailer and launch by myself; but the 27 needs to go this year...
I have looked at the pricing question and as you said, prices are all over. I've had "offers" on my boat, but did not feel like pursuing a lowball offer that came with strings attached. I'd hope to get $9,000 but expect to sell for less; that on a boat that has good sails, a solid deck, solid rig and comes with a trailer. I sail all over lake Michigan on her and have done the Solo Mac (Chicago to Mackinac island solo) multiple times. I am sure you can find 27s cheaper; as others have said it depends on what you need to address when you get the boat and your tolerance for imperfection. All older boats will have some "quirks"; the question is do those "quirks" bother you and if so what will it cost to correct them...

Does anyone know what we should pay?

Even if the purchase price is more, it will be less expensive in the long run than doing the upgrades yourself.
