Default Thinking about a IS 300, any thoughts?

Its a 2001 Black, cloth interior, stereo is missing, minor bump on the front right and on the rear right. Smoker owned it so interior is in need of deep cleaning. 138,000 miles, automatic, could use a couple new front tires, wheels have curb rash. Overall i would call it rough.

I think I could pick it up for around $5000

What do you guys think? Pass on it or pick it up?

I just looked at a IS300 almost the same but it had 149K and the interior and exterior was a little too rough for me. It's hard to find a nice used BO..... It had a clean car fax and all maintenance records though...... It was in Philly for $5000.....
