To buy or Not to buy?

I need some advice guys I have the opportunity to buy a 1985 RX-7. Now I know that this it the 2nd gen forum but I agree with most of your oppinions so I'd rather ask you guys than people I havent discussed any thing with. The car is in good mechanical health as far as I can tell she runs smoother than my 87 sport and has less miles on the clock to boot. But she has been in a crash before but not really bad and its mostly fixed I affered the guy a thousand for it and he said ok but I want to do my homework before I give hime that much for it. Thanx for any feedback you all give.
