Based on the car being somewhat low miles and looks mostly original, I could see it needing quite a few $$ just to make sure it's safe to drive. In your position Matt, I think you would have a hard time making the purchase and then being able to put the $$ and needed work into it. Yeah, the car could be worth $20-30K depending on what is done to it, but you won't be able to do what it needs so you probably wouldn't be able to make any significant money on it. You might be able to buy it now and flip it next year for a $1000 profit or so. That's not bad for the initial investment. But I tend to think there are some hidden issues with the car like floor rust or hidden body work. You really need to see it in person to determine what condition it's really in. Don't believe a word the dealer says!
