Looking at a 98 CSE...

Hey, gang!
Its been a while, so I thought I'd complicate my life.
Started looking at a 98cse today. Good body and interior, with 130kmi or so on the clock. Nice tires, starts, runs, and seems to drive ok. No rust or other obvious problems. Clutch and tranny seem ok. Small oil leak at the old distributor hole/cap.
Couple small problems: persistent CEL, but no flashes like on my 93. Low coolant (possible leak) with a pretty strong coating on the windshield (? heater core). Has a stumble during acceleration at ~2500rpm. Motor mounts seem shot all 'round. A/C seems ok.
Any suggestions on the stumble? Used car dealer (friend of a friend of an aquaintance) seems convinced its vacuum lines. They are dry and prolly cracked some.
I feel like I can handle most of the mechanicals, but need a bit of help on deciding what to offer. I'm thinking $4k. Too much? Insultingly low?
Is this car that much better than my 93? The 93 has had all the usual problems, which I've fixed up over the years, and it *seems* to be running ok now.
Thanks for any advice.
