Thanks to all for the advice! Went to see the car yesterday and was a bit disappointed. Head gasket was a homemade job ("we used good parts"), front spoiler split, both visors shot, both front seats had major cracks, hood had some ripples in it. Overall, though, the body was in excellent shape for a midwestern car. It was plainly obvious that the owner was trying to recoup $ spent on repairs ("we have to break even"). Was still considering it until I realized how much movement there was with the shifter. Sycros were excellent, however, upon acceleration it looked as though the stick was being yanked...a noticable 1/4 to 1/2 movement. My old '91 did that to some extent, but at $4500 it was a no go for me.
