Default 1996 stock Integra w/ check engine light always on. Would you still buy it?

I have been around Fords and Chevy's since I was old enough to drive. I do my own mechanic work. I am looking to buy this Integra that is in very good stock condition with 135000 original miles $1900. The only issue is the check engine light is constantly on. I took the car on the freeway at 80 mph and no problems. The car drives smooth and engine sounds completely normal. No noise inside or outside while driving and the engine sounds strong. The owner says it needs an 02 Sensor and that's why it's lit. I can find nothing else wrong with the car.
If the lights on would you pass on this Integra?

I wouldn't necessarily pass on it. It most likely is an 02 sensor. Meet him at Autozone and get the code pulled (for free) and you will know for sure.

Since it's an OBD2 car, it wouldn't hurt to buy a OBD2 scanner and check it yourself.

I have this one and works on just about any vehicle from 1996-current
