Should I buy this 1994 850 sedan? 850 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be Charley on  Sun Jan 30 00:33 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I looked at a Basic 1994 850 sedan yesterday,the only upgrade is leather seats and power windows ,the good news is the mileage :91,395 The following things I are wrong with it: (if i decide to buy it a independant volvo mechanic will inspect it)
A/C blowing warm air (the blue light does not turn on)
Needs two front tires
Cracked front headlight covers
Brakes seem very low
Radio Antenna broken in half
Service light on dash is on
I had to push the button "Shift lock override" to put the car in gear to drive it?
Paint chipping at top of front hood
Interior headliner coming down in front of car
Asking price $3,000
I Think I should offer $1,000
With all the work it needs to bring back in shape,Is this a fair offer.
I live in south Fla.A/C must be fixed,if it is a Evap.& Compressor it could be a $1,000+ repair.
What do you think? Buy or Walk away?
Thank you,any advice from 850 experts would help!!
