I suspected that, the leather trim is almost perfect for the age of the car, its almost always cracked and heavily worn.

You may find that there will be some deferred maintenance, but it sounds like that may have already been taken care of. The main thing with those engines is the VCT system rattling, and the stuck spark plugs needing to be extracted from the head. From what I remember, there are fixes for both, but that engine is relatively unknown by most mechanics, they sold more of the Quad Cam BOSS V8's than those 3V engines.

But..................those wheels have to go! Maybe the owner has the originals?
