Hard to tell from the pics, but my guess would be no. A similar car with good paint and none of those issues mentioned would likely be worth $4500-6500. If you paid $3500 then you’d have $1000-3000 to fix it up and IMO that’s not enough to bring it up to the quality of one that’s worth that range I quoted. Of course that math isn’t always a good way to “value” a car - but it is a good way to figure out how underwater you’d be if you bought it and fixed it up.
Really it depends on how picky you are about condition, what you plan to do with the car, how much more money you want to invest…etc. Personally I’d be looking for something with clean paint and interior - those are the hard to find items. Blown motor, bad suspension…etc would not be something I’d be worrying about personally since all that stuff is easy to fix/replace. Remember that if you buy a car that needs paint it’s expensive to do a good paint job. Doing it right means removing all trim/moldings and unfortunately all of those parts are discontinued - and to top it off most are difficult to remove without damaging them at least somewhat. I recently stripped my DB2 for paint and it was a laborious process. I got most of the parts off OK but the moment of truth will be how well things go back together when I get it back from the body shop.
yikes on the price… especially considering where you keep it tells the car is not cared for at all… i probably would offer you $1500 at max with all the issues
