Thoughts on this AE92 on Craigslist?

So, I want to buy my first car. I just want a beater that I can learn stick on, would any of you recommend me buying this AE92? I love the sound of the 4AGE. It's $700, 160k miles, has a dent on the left side, and a chain protruding from the hood. Also has that hideous wing. Please let me know your thoughts, thanks in advance.

Honestly, if the body isn't riddled with holes, it runs and the suspension isn't completely shot I would pay 700 for it.

Looks like you would be in for some fun with the headlights though. not exactly sitting right to put the light where you need it :p

Trying to figure out if those are painted bumpers and mirrors (the car being black doesn't help). It might be an sr5 with a motor swap, side skirts added, and possibly a trunk lid change? Even if it was an sr5 without tonns of rust I would pay $700. My car's been through a few people learning standard on it and everything still works .

It appears it may have already been sold. Hope you were the one that got it.

First thing I'd do is rip that Wing off there so you dont take off in flight going down the freeway hahah. Could sell it to some mexican, or maybe use it as a book shelf in your garage. hahaha. (Sorry that was rude of me, no offence Mexican people)
