Exclamation Help me with this please!!!!!S5

today I saw a 90' N/A with 102,000 miles.
The paint is absolutely horrid. its peeling and needs paint badly.
The interior is actually pretty damn clean except a few minor things like the top of the center console needs to be replaced. and the hood latch is on the floor.
Had a stereo but it was taken out.
The guy said "everything" is good. Whatever that means
I did't get to start it yet.
It has and intake and exhaust (dual).
It winks at you. needs a motor for the head lights.
due to the paint rust is forming on the driver fender. can be easily fixed though.
let me know what you think its worth so far...

if you have CARFAX PLEASE! help!

I don't think it is worth much it is in crappy condition. From experience I would say find one in good condition, otherwise you will end up wasting money on stupid little things restoring it to good condition, plus paint isn't that cheap.

If you are looking at this fixer-upper because you don;t have enough money to get a good one, just keep saving, it WILL cost you more in the long run.
