Wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. Obviously it hasn't been maintained at all. The seller might re-think taking the cost of repairs from the asking price when he realises how much it will actually cost him. How many K's on it??

Also for the Airconditioning compressor, make sure the owner get a new one and not a second hand.
The aircon system will also need to be pumped dry and cleaned before the new stuff goes in. The old compressor will have probably seized to a point where there will be a whole lot of iron filings through the system. If you dont clean it out it will just cause the same problems to occur again.
As has been said, give it a miss. The car has a lot of expensive things; engine mounts are another example as the engine will need to be lifted to replace them.
That other uzz32 for $12k sounds like a beaut deal! ;D

Ouch... I'd buy if for $5K, no more than that, given so many things are wrong with it. Who knows what other surprises pop out shortly after you buy it. If suspension is damaged, expect to pay heaps fixing that.

Simon, I bit the bullet and bought my second car without getting a check done. It was a big mistake and now im paying the price for quite a few repairs.

No way, Sounds almost too far gone to be financially viable to buy and fix up. Unless you are prepared to spend all the money should be okay, however If the majority of usually fine parts are faulty then just think what other things are ready to go once you have bought it.
How many kms has it done by the way?
If your want a good 32, Richard Cislowski 1993 one for sale looks like a good example. For 12k, seems very good...
