The question is how experienced are you with mechanical problems and electrical gremlins because that car has both. If you have limited abilities in either of those areas stay away. If you do purchase the car don't pay a dime over $800 for it. It's nothing special and better can be had for a little more cash.

Exactly. I would consider that car a project vehicle. It needs to be viewed as a vehicle that needs "everything" done to it. Just from reading the sellers vague description, this is a car that is going to take a lot of time, and money to get right.
If this doesn't need to be a daily driver, then go for it(Don't pay the asking price however).
