Buying 98 s70 t5 manual. S70

I need advice. I loved my 96 na manual 85t. Now I've found a manual t5 s70. Cheap. Second owner bought it with low miles. Now has near 200k. I'm pasting our conversation below for your frank opinions... Thanks on advance! vs

Hey Alex It is a t5. Though It has the 2.4l engine not the 2.3 giving it more low end torque with the horsepower. The turbo was rebuilt 5,000 miles ago.

  The clutch, slave cylinder and pressure plate are brand new with less the 2,000 miles on it.

The suspension was recently replaced Struts and coil overs that are dropped by an inch, Battery isn't even two years.

It needs some TLC. The body on this is in great shape. The hood and a the spoiler came of my old blue Volvo.

The car runs good, Timing needs to be set right as its to advanced so it misfires when you step on it.

A small hose needs to be replaced as its leaking a little antifreeze fluid. Some of the seals also need to be replaced because it's leaking oil. I have to put more every few weeks.

The sun roof has a small leak. I just don't have the time or money to fix everything. This is an excellent car, It has treated me well I just don't have time to fix everything myself. Will be a great fixer upper for someone who knows what they are doing.

This is the model with the internal slave cylinder. This was my daily driver. I bought a metro because I have to drive 200 plus miles to work. The metro gets better mileage I'm not complaining.
But the car needs some tlc as to why I’m selling it for $1200.
