Doors at the bottom and they sag as well, frame rails behind rear wheels, inside of the door of the trunk, floor pans, when looking under the car take a look at the gas lines and brake lines, those arrbalp the spots that rot out bad on the g- body cars. How is the weatherstripping and window seals? Does it have t-tops, pay close attention to the roof? I have seen some get as much as 10k and some get as low as 3k depending on condition.

40k miles and needs interior and paint? I get that the factory paint sucks, but unless they've been parking it under a tree and in the sun, 40K mile cars don't normally need that much.

BUT- for $1500, you could sink 5-6K into it and likely easily get your money back out of it if you did it correctly.
