keep in mind this car is unibody... meaning serious underbody rust, and the car can split in half... I've seen it.

NY is a really really bad place to drive a "free car" and expect longevity.

so... rust may not bother you, but have it SERIOUSLY inspected... the trailing arms are unobtanium new... so you need to find some from southern states, as I can bet any dollar figure you care to name, yours are ready to dump your back wheels on the ground. look over ALL the suspension. and be thorough!

it would be lovely to keep the car, and I'll root for it, but keep an open mind... salt is DEATH to these cars.
