From the pictures you can tell, it needs work. I think before I (or anyone else for that fact) could make an honest assessment of the car, the car would have to be inspected in person. You just can't realistically make a logical judgement call from a CL ad.
I will say this much though, with buying from the Humane Society, you know the money you pay will go to a worthy cause.

The rear hatch is worth close to half of the asking price. Here is some inspiration:

that was a donated car. guy got old. couldn't keep it up. but he kept it inside. i think at 5k these days, you buy first and ask questions later.

Just so our poster can learn;
ALWAYS start with the value of a good running complete decent car....so for a CE it's at about $25k
THEN REMOVE the remediation;
Paint+ stripes= $13,000
Interior CE specific one year, one edition= $5000
130k mile suspension re-work $2000
Engine has 130k on it= $3000
Rebuild Tranny= $2500
Rebuild rear end= $1500
Tires and etc = $1000
Cost of car= $5000
Resultant= You have $33,000 into a car worth $25k and you spend 600 hours of your own time for free.
Like I said...PARTS CAR!
