This is more of a potential nightmare. Try finding a legit shop that will sell you a used motor with compression/leakdown info.
This is my opinion and it's worth what you paid for it, but I would not buy that and expect to simply install and use it.

Offered him 5k for the car, no response lol
I don't see anyone paying the kind of money he's asking for those parts. He'll come down to earth in a couple months of sitting on it.

Not worth $8500... barely worth $6000.
I wouldn't touch that thing with a 10 foot poll without starting it. This dude is a complete moron if he's "scared" to start it. Sorry but that's stupid. He took the risk when he bought the damned thing. Now find out if it works or you're just being shady.

3500 Tranny and brakes
1000 Engine
500 Seats
500 miscellaneous crap
It all basically rests on the tranny being in good shape. Atleast that was my estimation of it all.

They just aren't worth gold anymore.
Here is what I see when I see them.
$4000 trans and brakes... whole driveling.
$1000 complete interior.
Under 60k with leakdown $3000
Under 100k with leakdown $2000
No leakdown $500-750
Trunk tail light etc. $700.
People trying to get $8-10k on these are on crack unless its low mileage and cones with a leaksown.
Busted timing belt. Id offer the dude $750 intercooler down.
