Personally, I'd pass on that one. Could potentially waste 6+ hours of your day to return home empty handed. All of those issues could be simple fixes but what if they're not?

You didn't disclose the offering price miles on car or other general conditions if the car is drivable. Still to many variables with what you've told us.

That's very true.

Hand full of photos looked ok... but it's a 96, 4 previous owners and 105k miles. Bone stock for $3900.

That's way to much buddy. Looks like it's been serviced well and it very well could last you for years trouble free, other then existing issues, but still its too much. I would think the forum guys wouldn't pay more then $1500 for a car like that if everything else is perfect.
