I like you already.


OK, those cars have a pretty good following for reasons that escape me.
That said, if you're buying it for you to drive, fine. Expect issues to crop up related to motor mounts and bearings. That car took a lick and got knocked out of square pretty good, problems will show up down the line.

Personally, I'd pass.

I feel for your wife; it's clear she liked the car.
