Should I buy this s13?

[Aurimas]

Hello everyone.
Well, my name is Aurimas and I am about to buy my first 240sx so I thought I might ask for some advice here.

Well this person offered me his car:
89 240sx SE, 5 speed, clean title (I did a VIN check for this one)
Car has only 4 owners and has been only in CA and NV so shouldn't be a rust bucket.







Stance GR+Pro coils (adjustable)
Aftermarket exhaust
19" wheels (too big for me)
Some kind of "ricey" body kit (doesn't look that bad actually)
Adjustable headlights (sleepy eyes).

And the guy has all the receipts for the repairs he has done recently (he had the car since July 6, 2012)
New clutch
Tires
Cooling system hoses.
So far so good to me.
He said that the SOHC still pulls hard and no leaks, etc.

One big problem.

230,000 miles .

Worth it?
He wants around 3k, I could probably go down to 2.5k.

buy it to save that poor molested s13 please. burn the body kit, swap the motor, drive it like a champ.

Looks pretty clean, I would offer him 2K (no more than 2.5K) and go on from there, or save up and buy a S14.

I don't like S14s. Just not my thing.
Just went there to check it out.
Pros:
Shifts and drives smooth, you can feel the aftermarket suspension stiffness.
Clutch wasn't slipping.
Engine did't sound like it was knocking.
It was a cold start, so it too a good second to start, no leaks though.
Interior is very clean.
The spoiler was so s*** and heavy that the trunks hydraulics couldn't keep it up (the guy who has it doesn't like it either).
Sleepy eyes work perfectly. AC works too.
No rust on the body, only on calipers.
Engine was swapped from a different one (unknown mileage, possibly lover).

Overall cosmetic rating 8/10

Cons:
Few dings and one paint chip (don't really care).
Idle sounded like the engine dropped a hundred revs for a second (he said because of the AC probably).
Passenger's window didn't roll down.
Driver's window rolled down, but you had to pull it up a little bit.
Engine light is on, but it's pre-1996 car so who knows what it is.
The center storage (don't know what it is called) latch was broken, so it didn't hold still.

My main concern is the rough idle. Could anyone give me some input on that? I am thinking about swapping an engine later into a KA24DE

He was firm on the price, so I said $2700 is as high as I can go.
He said he will think about it so I guess he doesn't want to be lowballed (car might be good actually)

The spoiler is hideous. I love sleepers, but that bodykit didn't look that bad actually.

i find i weird that the spoiler is sooo heavy, maybe check to see if the trunk is covered in bondo? as well as the rest of the car. seems a bit high on price but if you can buy it and drive it then seems okay
