Question Should I buy it?

Hello, I've come across a 2003 is300 with 215k miles. It is an automatic. The seller sent me this, "215k miles. Roof and hood paint fading, few interior cosmetic issues". It is mentioned that it was his wife dad's old car that was given to him and was not driven for a while. Here are some pictures of it from him, he wants 2500, but I offered 1500, should I do it if he accepts? He said it drives good, but I'm not going to be able to test drive it until this weekend.

Is it close enough where you could go check it out? $2,500 is still on the cheap side for the car (unless it's in bad shape), so I'd say YES to getting it for $1,500 if he accepts. That's dirt cheap.

Thanks for the replies, but yeah I am only about an hour away to check it out, he had said it's firm on 2500. When I go test drive it this weekend, I will make a decision either to take it or not, it's still a good deal as this car is valued around 3k+ even with the high mileage.
