The only serious things are the tranny leak and the steering box leak with damage to the control arm bushings. Everything else is normal wear.

Just about exactly the car I would expect for the price -- in truely perfect condition I'd personally ask $6000 or more -- my brother paid 12,000 for his SDL several years ago.

Brakes will last about 20,000 miles on a set of pads (30,000 if you are easy on them), worn pads would NEVER keep me from buying a car!
