Sounds to me like a steal!

Figure on at least $600 to fix ac though, unless it just needs a charge, and a couple of hundred for the trim, a couple for the window.
I'd go straight H&R/Bilstein for the suspension, it will save you alot that way. Figure about $1k for suspension, related bushings, etc.

Have you driven the car? Is the tranny solid? Does the owner have records? How many owners before? If it is on the level, it is not a bad deal!

Give me the VIN, and I'll run a carfax for you. Also, look for RUST. It can be a BIG factor.

Check inside oil-filler cap, and sneak a peek at the condition of the engine's internals. If it is clean-looking, you may have a steal.
