I think I'd be concerned about a car with that history but, if it PPI's well, go for it. I've seen that car for sale a few times so be cautious. One of the lessons I've learned is that cars that have been for sale a long time because they usually have a reason to be. You need to determine what that reason is.
I can't emphasize the 'do your research' point enough. If you don't know what questions to ask and what to look at, you will PPI a bunch of cars that will be junk.
BTW, I understand your need for a decent driver and not a show piece but, from what I've found, mechanical condition and cosmetic condition on these cars go somewhat hand in hand. I just did a quick look in the usual places and I didn't see anything that I'd spend my $20k on, if that were my budget. In that price range, be patient but be prepared to grab something, should it come up.
