Quoted from the seller's add:

"With its history, I know it's not for everyone, but it is most likely the cheapest Coupe you will find for sale,"

It is a sly way of saying this may be a POS so be forewarned.

The add is all over the place as to condition. In parts its trying to minimalize issues and sell sell sell; then in other parts trying for full disclosure.

The 2 things that get me most are ABS and Airbags. I've looked up whether its illegal to sell a car with a knowing airbag fault or missing. No definitive answer, so OP should contact an attorney in the state from which it was sold. These are safety issues and potentially the best areas for legal recourse with the seller. Maybe work out a deal to get $$ to have those two fixed since he clearly represented that they worked properly or in the case of the airbag that it was replaced.

I agree with Javadog. Fix this one and let the kid drive it UNLESS it is unsafe. No reason to take a loss just to spend more.
