That's a beautiful colour that I wasn't even aware of. Nice to see it's a 95 VDP like mine, bit of a unique crossover being SWB...
That being said, a respray can be quite pricey so I would get a quote on that first. The radio can be swapped out (cheaper) but if you like the stock look, it can be rebuilt for around 200. Interior trim pieces are not expensive on ebay, probably 15 dollars a piece. The rear spring bushes will run you about 40 apiece and are not too difficult to replace with a spring compressor.
How did it run?
It's up to you if you want to buy it--I personally liked giving my car the bit of TLC it needed--but if you think you'd feel better about the purchase buying a minty one for twice the price, by all means do that. And try to get it in that lovely colour!
