Checked out this 2nd owner s14 today

Acceleration feels great and its a smooth ride.. BUT while at a stop it chokes at idle until you hit the throttle it goes back to normal.. that's a misfire right?

Valve gasket for sure needs some changing along with grommets, valve cover is caked with oil and looks like the oil is seeping into the spark plug holes.. my guess is that's the reason why its misfiring?

Timing chain rattle, yep guide needs to go!

Air inside the top coolant hose, owner claimed the thermostat needs to be swapped, last time coolant was changed was a year ago when radiator was swapped..

Its his wifes car, he told me it started overheating 4 months ago and she's been driving it that way ever since, 5 days a week 5-10 miles a day.. what I'm afraid of is since she's been running I that way for a while, wouldn't the head gasket be done? It still runs good, and I WANT IT!!! I have til morning to decide.. any input would help.
