Timing chain isn't an issue past 1984 so you're ok.
What work has been done on it? Had it had the subframe gussets done? There's a defect with the subframe that requires reinforcement. Google this if you're unfamiliar.
Does everything work? That's aircon, vacuum accessories, no leaks, etc?
Frankly, i think 13500 is too high given a torn top, ugly non function car phone, and a non stock radio. Torn top to me means something else is wrong.
Pull the carpets and look for rust. That plate looks like a M plate to me. These cars love to rust.
Make sure the engine is in tune. I would have a shop do a PPI and smoke test the engine. If there are any leaks, run away!
Maybe if there was serious repair work done with receipts, subframe work done, and a good top. What's confusing me is the 3rd brake light and rims. I was under the impression those were only on post 86 vehicles.
Regardless, it looks like an $8k car to me.
