Bascially with that mileage, the car has no value left. And it's surely going to need some front end work. I'd say right off the bat, you'll spend $300 in front end stuff, PLUS whatever they get for an alignment. Another $60 or so? I've bought better cars for less, and I've paid more for worse, but I'd say it's a $200- 300 car, and that really shouldn't be insulting to anyone.
The big issues in general with these:
rust, wiring harnesses, rust, blower motors, rust, suspension, and maintenance items: brakes, tires, tuneups, exhaust. Seems like the exhaust is broken on all of them. But on the other hand, it's a good do-it-yourself car, and it's not usually susceptible to major mechanical failures. Tradeoffs, I guess, and the cars last so long that weird, annoying stuff starts to break on them.
Good luck!
