Just went there to check it out.
Pros:
Shifts and drives smooth, you can feel the aftermarket suspension stiffness.
Clutch wasn't slipping.
Engine did't sound like it was knocking.
It was a cold start, so it too a good second to start, no leaks though.
Interior is very clean.
The spoiler was so s*** and heavy that the trunks hydraulics couldn't keep it up (the guy who has it doesn't like it either).
Sleepy eyes work perfectly. AC works too.
No rust on the body, only on calipers.
Engine was swapped from a different one (unknown mileage, possibly lower).

Overall cosmetic rating 8/10

Cons:
Few dings and one paint chip (don't really care).
Idle sounded like the engine dropped a hundred revs for a second (he said because of the AC probably).
Passenger's window didn't roll down.
Driver's window rolled down, but you had to pull it up a little bit.
Engine light is on, but it's pre-1996 car so who knows what it is.
The center storage (don't know what it is called) latch was broken, so it didn't hold still.

My main concern is the rough idle. Could anyone give me some input on that? I am thinking about swapping an engine later into a KA24DE

He was firm on the price, so I said $2700 is as high as I can go.
He said he will think about it so I guess he doesn't want to be lowballed (car might be good actually)
