I would have been just that. Out the door.

$14,300 for a 97 2.5 in perfect condition is still highway robbery. Last year I bought a 2000 S 3.2 with an absolutely perfect body, already had the IMS sorted, new tires, clutch, upgraded headlights, taillights, and aftermarket wheels for $14k. Not a chance I would ever pay that for a non-S, especially one with problems. Even doing as much DIY as you can, you would be looking at 20 hours of your time and $3000 for parts, alignment, etc. (that would assume that IMS bearing hasn't been done and you want to do it). Probably 5k is you wanted a shop to do all the work.
