Buy for sure, unless the motor knocks or the trans won't shift. If you can get below $3K it's a total score, and even at asking price it's a good deal. What rims are those?
Here is a better view of that helps

Thanks ill try that!Its been neglected and probably needs a lot of maintenance. Let alone needs to be trailered back and worked on before even seeing the road.
Negotiate.
Show the seller 2k cash. If they don't like it pull a few hundred more out of your other pocket
But buy it
The owner is a younger girl in her 20s, who has owned it for 3 years. She is going to send me some invoices of work shes had done (probably the starter and the front axel- but has told me there is no overheating or shifting problems. She said the engine runs great - I thought the fluids all looked very clean and healthy. I can't tell where the oil is leaking from yet though. Tough thing is if i need to fix that brake to test drive it, i would have to take her word for it - which i do know her personally so I don't think she would be lying. I might be able to talk her down the cost of the brake fix - I do pads all the time, but have never changed calipers or rotors.
Front rotors on these are NOT like other cars. They are more like 1T trucks with inboard rotors (meaning you must disassemble the front hubs).The owner is a younger girl in her 20s, who has owned it for 3 years.

Not yet, she is out of town so we are basically working on doing this virtually..I have access to the vehicle now and we can make a bill of sale etc, she has to put an app in for a replacement title. I think I can theoretically take it with the bill of sale now on the condition she transfers the title though.Have you bought it yet?
If she is out of state, be careful. You may have a difficult time if it turns out she cannot produce a title.Not yet, she is out of town so we are basically working on doing this virtually..I have access to the vehicle now and we can make a bill of sale etc, she has to put an app in for a replacement title.

She is blonde ...but I will be cautious - the brake thing is weird, she is moving from my town to another town and has been between and seems scattered. Ill try to go for the bill of sale with half and then the rest with the title. She did say the title was clean, I do believe her since I know her personally - regardless ill look it up.So I want to say theres no reason for her to lose the title and it seems kinda fishy. Also weird that she'd have all that maintenance done but then let the brakes get so bad
I would NOT buy it without a title. Could have a lien, could have difficulty getting it out of someone else's name, could be an outright scam, Yellowstone could erupt while waiting the weeks/months for DMV to send it, etc
I'd see if she'd write a contract in person for 100 down and the rest when she has the title, in her name, with no liens
