Two ways to look at it. 130K on an SPG is a relatively new car; the car will, however, require $4-5K in repairs over the next several years exclusive of the $1200-2000 to repair the rust (I highly recommend replacing the quarter panels and having it done by a good shop, not just the lowest price guy...look around and find at least a 5 year guarantee against rust...if you can have it done as part of an insurance repair, like 'betterment', so much the better because you'll get a better labor rate as well as a life of car as long as you own it warranty with, for example, State Farm).
OTOH, it's an 87 which looks about the same as an 88+ SPG (ok, no headlight wipers) but doesn't have the big 9K brakes (doesn't have airbags or abs to go TU either!) so you might consider walking away from it for
$3-4K and finding a 90-91 SPG with <100K; consider looking on the classified here.
If you KNOW what's in your car (like have had it since new or put a lot of time and $ into it for two years) you might not want to start again with a newer used SPG.
