So I'm looking at a Volvo 240 GL, 1983. Current owner says they've changed all the fluids, filters, and belts. They've put Brembo discs on the front, and the interior, except the driver side window controls and a cracked dasb, is in great shape. But here's some concerns I have:

Unreported repair. The front left quarter has red under the silver, and it's the only panel with it. Wheels were resprayed in the tire so there is some curb rash. Some rust spots on the hood and rear that need fixing and the tail light covers need replacing. The windshield glue is melting a bit, and the glass has a yellow stain across the top, likely old tint. Had some bondo on the underside but it's been done decently.

What I'm wondering is, owner wants $2000USD for the car. I was thinking of offering $1400. What do you guys think?
