Thanks, guys. I'm thinking the first thing I'll jump on is the windows. In reading my post, it really makes the car seem worse than it is. Obviously it's not perfect, but overall it's a pretty good car. Body is in great shape, engine runs smooth and strong, trans shifts well. Brakes are good, A/C blows cold, interior is in good shape. Someone spent a good amount of $ on the audio system as well. It's got a few, most of which are listed above, fairly minor issues. As I had said it only needs TLC. I would guess the prior owner just got bored with it and let slip things that most of us would get right on, and let the list grow. As for the price, I am very sure I get an extremely good deal on it. The prior owner had some circumstances in his life and was very motivated to sell quickly.

It's a much nicer car than it sounds. Again, I appreciate all the input.
