I'd look at getting a different cam than the MS4. That is just me (nothing wrong with TSP BTW). Plenty of guys out there can spec you something specifically for you and the way you plan on using the car. No reason to get something off the shelf IMO.
I figured I'd throw that out there instead of echoing everyone else.

I'd think REALLY hard about that "orange" paint job......
The stripes can always be taken off. You may want to consider this one.

Plus rebuilt title (meaning salvaged).

Ok guys, I went and got some videos of a walk around, some codes and other things. Things such as the seat backrest wobble, is that normal? Also, it didn't start showing the "service traction control and stability" until i stopped for 10 minutes to take these videos. The dual climate feature wasn't working either (i somewhat expect this on a car this old) is it an expensive fix? I'd love to hear everyones opinions, because I will probably pull the trigger tomorrow! The car drove great, super clean interior, stiff clutch, smooth tight gears, etc.

The backs of the seats do wobble. When you say the dual climate wasn't working what do you mean? The display, the actual dual zone? If it's the screen it's a simple fix. You just have to resolder some resistors. If it's the dual zone climate not working properly someone else will have to chime in. I know mine only works to a few degrees. You can't have one have 60 degree temps and another 80 as far as I know.

If you like the car I would say get it. I look at it as codes can be fixed with a little research and some patients. I can't do paint and body so I don't want a car with major paint issues but mechanical issues do not bother me at all. Look at it this way by spending some time with the car diagnosing problems and fixing it you will learn a lot about the car and yourself which is good for you. Plus most of those codes were history codes and will most likely not even amount to any thing any way.
What ever you do be confident in your decision and don't look back. There is not a wrong choice here you will either get that one or find one later on.
