For $2700 the car should be very well sorted.
Considering what it needs $1-1.5 k tops.

Some D-Jet parts are getting scarce,and expensive.
The seats have been redone the seat bottoms don't look like 140 or 160 pattern.
Those clocks don't work very well ,if at all anyway.
The heater control in the firewall typically goes out at @ every 20 years.
The automatic transmission seal is another 20 year repair cycle item.
The stick shifts get better economy and are less troublesome.
As mentioned the wear on the brake pedal says 200K mi.
Those wheels are 14x5.5 inch from a 260 series Volvo,
and have a 20 MM offset not the 40 mm of a 140.
The stock wheel is # 684001 at 15"x5"x40mm offset.
Nanking makes an affordable 165x15 tire with a
tread pattern similar to the stock Michelin XZX.
