It really depends, so it's up to you...

Bad place is the airbox for critters...

Mentionables:

Get the fuel filter, trans filter, tune up, and brake fluid changed.
It's an automatic. It's clean, not smelly (which is good because some other estate items are moth-ball-tastic) Glass is good, body clean, no rust showing - haven't been under it, as it's sitting on 4 flats. It's been in a garage that doesn't evidence animal infestation (though there are signs of mice in the house)

I'm considering it for an AWD replacement for my fiancee's 07 Toyota Yaris. It costs us $270-ish/month plus full-coverage insurance. If I could get out of having the car payment plus lower the insurance cost PLUS give her an AWD ride for our snow/mud zone where we currently live... it would be great. I have to see what value the Yaris has vs. what we owe on it. Fewer debts the better, says I.
