So, I guess by "clean" everybody means "stock"?

Good base to start with.

Yeah I know what you mean but the car has blown struts and some crappy coilover sleeves and bounces everywhere when you hit a bump

I would go with suspension first as well. Especially if it's riding like he said.
For a quick fix, a can of paint is just $4 away. Just tape off the tires and go at it. Anything will look better than that green.
It's clean though. Good platform to start from.

At least paint those rims a normal color and try to sell them. Should have them gone quick that way. Also might help pay for new rims.
GL!

Looks like highschool budget trendy. You'll fit in well. Those skunk2's are garbage, but I'm sure you won't mind the ride.
