Have you checked the title?

Get a compression test (or budget for a reman or rebuild just in case).

Interior problems? Exterior problems? Tires? Wheels?

You are probably going to need more info before someone will be able to toss you an opinion...

Well yeah, but let's just assume it's in good condition etc etc.

I do need to go see it, ask some questions etc etc.

So if it was in good condition, no big problems, would that be good?

Thanks

That depends on how bad you want a FD.. They are getting rarer here in the US. Personally, I would never give an opinion until I knew a little more about the car.

You have to figure there are FD's with blown engines going for around $6k, so a working one at $11.5k probably has a few things that will need to be taken care of...

Read up and so you know what to look for when you see it. Price sounds good if everything is good condition.

sounds like a great deal.. Even if the car had low compression I would still consider it. Do get the compression checked, you dont want to pop your motor and not have money to fix it.
