See what that year of Strat is going for on eBay, that will give you an approximate value.

There are a few on eBay UK site.
http://search.ebay.co.uk/fender-stratocaster-japan
Seem to be running in the £300-£400 range.
I think current conversion to US $ is about 2x .

And here is the same search on the US eBay site:
http://search.ebay.com/fender-stratocaster-japan

And Canadian eBay site just to confuse things
http://search.ebay.ca/fender-stratocaster-japan

I've been seeing the 80's Japanese models go in the $500ish range here in our neck of the woods.

My personal experience is:

I bought a Left Handed 1986 MIJ Strat off of Craig's List for $300.00 less than 2 years ago.
