Potential purchase > 99 SE V6 w/ Bent Valves, etc.

Hi all-
I am considering the purchase of a 1999 SE V6 with 74K miles. The owner went through the whole belt tensioner failure issue and now just wants to get rid of it. What he's told me is that there are two bent valves and that he has gotten an estimate of $4,000 to fix. Ugly. Guess I'm a glutton for punishment...
What I'd like to know is what else I should ask him before purchasing. At $1,300 or so (negotiable) for the car, is it worth undertaking the project? Side note: I won't be doing the work myself.
Any advice is certainly appreciated before buying this money pit ;)
Shawn.
