Default Good Deal on a 1990 CRX?

Ok the car is kinda weird... it has a sweet *** engine bay, with a clean as can be b16a2 motorswap, and lots of bolt ons:
-AEM Cold Air Intake
-Skunk2 Intake Manifold
-DC 4-1 header
-Invidia Catback Exhaust
-Civic Type-R Underdrive Pulley
-ACT Heavy Duty Clutch with Lightweight Flywheel
-Tokico Blue Shocks and Skunk2 Adjustable Coilovers
-Skunk2 Short-shifter and ****
-Toyo Proxes-4 Tires with Integra LS special edition wheels

for $3200

The catch... (lol)
The car looks to have been white at some time (The engine bay is white and there is marks of white paint where the current paint has "disappeared"), the guy says it definitely needs a paint job and there is a little rust on the panel on the sunroof. He apparently tried to do his own paintjob and totally f**ked it up. To me the car looks pretty good condition, he got the car from San Diego, CA, so I don't think the rust if any will be to bad. I don't really want the car to rice out, I just want a snappy little honda, and I love CRX's

So what do you guys think? -or-

You'll be very lucky to find a CRX sans rust, that's just a given. I would try to talk him down a little over the paint. Otherwise it doesn't sound all that bad to me, even though I'm not the biggest fan of B series engines.

The original price of the car was $3800. I talked him down to $3200. I will post pictures of the CRX if I end up purchasing it tomorrow.

Now she needs a bit of exterior work and very, very minor interior work. All easy fixes though .

We're thinking of going with the integra blue or just black. But so far leaning towards the blue .
