Three recent V4 auction sales on Bring-A-Trailer help give an insight into current values. These include a Sabre and two 1st-gen Interceptors; 750 and 500 versions. The sales prices seem to signal an uptick in early V4 values.
SOLD: $8100
1983 VF750 Interceptor
Here's an example of a first-year V45 with an unclear history. Showing only 9 miles on the odometer, the comments generally suggest that is unlikely. Curiously, this bike has not been run for an unknown period and there's been no investigation done to determine if the bike is affected by the infamous "soft" cam issue. And, there's two right hand mirrors mounted (?). Surprisingly well-sold.

1986 VF500 Interceptor
This mini-ceptor is presented as a 6000-mile survivor with assorted scuffs and dings to support that. The bike shows well enough, is above average cosmetically and has low miles. The selling price is impressive, all things considered.

1985 VF700S Sabre
Another 6000-mile survivor, this very well-kept Sabre will make a great classic motorbike, and I hope the new owner puts some fair-weather miles on her. Looking closely at the photos, it's evident that this is, in fact, a low-mile example, with clean engine cases and fine paint. The Sabres don't have the same appeal as the sportier Interceptors, especially the 700cc version, and the the sales price reflects that. There's still plenty of performance to be had, though, and the Sabre will always cut a handsome profile. Well bought.
