Default would you buy it? advice needed!

Well, after getting the 2002, i want something to work on. I found this on craigslist-






Its a 5.0/5 speed LX convertible, needs a little work. It needs a fuelpump relay, and the door put back on. he says the old one works on it, but the new door it comes with wont close. how hard would this be to fix, from anyone with experience in bodywork? Hes asking 1200, but i think if i can get him down to 100 i might buy it. what do people here think?

I wouldn't go for it. You can probably find a car that may be a little more expensive but w/ no rust, bent quarters, and even a passenger door. If it isn't close enough to you to go look at it yourself then I would forget about that one too.

Id Say if you can get it cheap go for it try pulling if i say yea will you go for 900 950. But once its yours you have it take your time fixing it and make it sweet.. the door you could go to a local garage and have then put it on for you if you arent sure. hows the engine??

The engines in good shape, 84k. He had ported e7 heads put on(no clue WTF that means). Is that a good thing? 5.0 verts are hard to come by in non-totally rusted shape for sale, or they are 4-5 thousand around here. If i buy this, my account will basicly be drained for a while, because of the payments on the 02. But i thought after the pump was fixed, at least put the old door on and have some summer fun.
