If you do pursue it I'd suggest you have the seller have the glow plugs replaced prior to you buying it...that way if one breaks off it is not your problem.

You know there's a problem with the GP system and at least one is bad. It could be broken off already in there...so I'd revise my last statement and say other than the GP problem I'd say everything else is easily fixed. The broken GP is a potentiall costly repair (head removal).


Used wheels for these cars are plentiful in good shape. You can buy a set, probably with good rubber on them for $100 each used. A good body shop can respray the hood and touch up other spots without repainting the entire car, but even if the whole car were repainted it would then really look "like new" and be better than others out there.

Without seeing the car it's impossible for any of us to judge it as well as you have, so, passing on it may be the right call, but I always love a challenge.
