I had a sticking caliper on the RF of my 84 when I first bought it. I made the dealer rebuild both calipers with factory rebuild kits before accepting the car. I know the noise, and I'd bet that's what it is. Ask the seller to credit you the cost of some new calipers and for your first upgrade....
good luck, sounds like an otherwise nice car.
I don't think such a common and inexpensive problem should be any reason to pass up a good example, assuming the price was right.
FYI, I paid $14,500 for my 84 3.2 coupe in 1999. It was a sunroof coupe, with full leather, sunroof, forged wheels, and some other oddities. It had 99k and was in great shape with some stone chips, etc. But otherwise it was very clean and it included the brake rebuilds, a two year warranty at no cost to me, and a new turn signal switch (they always seem to need replacing!) Your potential buy sounds as nice, with lower miles and two years newer, so keep an eye on the price.
