Based in what can be seem in these pictures, it looks like a nice car.  The trouble is that these pictures do not show very much.  Do a search on this site about buying a car in order to identify the trouble spots before you go inspect it in person.

Best to have it inspected first.

Stick could probably do it for you. He's in Richmond.
