I wouldn't touch it myself for all of these reasons. My 2000 AW coupe was bone stock when I bought it, had one owner, and had all of the fluids changed/maintenance performed on a more than regular basis. The only problem it had was the regulator on the passenger door.

If I were the OP I'd pass and keep up the search.

Since I'm such a nice guy I'll let you have mine and I'll take your beater off of your hands so you don't have to look at it anymore. I won't even charge you for hauling off the over weight limit trash.
