if it doesnt say in the ad the $1800 wiring harness replacement job was done, then CP because it likely wasn't. If it was done that is a fair price. Beware the 94-95 24V with the biodegradable wiring harnesses! Also this

"

Wiring harnesses on '93+ are biodegradable (and they do!)

ASC / EML (traction control) is complex, troublesome, and EXPENSIVE to put right (No, you can't disable it. And no, it's not really driveable when it's acting up)

The M104 had serious head gasket issues. They all have needed at least one. Later revisions of the HG are better, so if it's been done semi-recently and isn't leaking now, it's probably OK.

Seemingly all of the commonly-needed parts for the '94-'95 are more expensive:"

The virtual twin to my car.

A few things on this. Yes, the head gaskets are a weak point. At 120k it's probably had one already, but check for not only mixed fluids but also external leaks toward the back of the head, passenger side (ask me how I know). The engine harness would likely have been replaced, too, but check the date code near the battery/relays/ECM area.

These rust (AMHIK), so check basically everywhere, but especially the front fenders and the inner front fenders ahead of the shock towers. The electronic throttle actuator (ETA) can be a problem, and most (but not all, AMHIK) would have been replaced by now. However, this one doesn't have traction control (and thus no seat heaters, part of a package in 94/95), so it *should* have a mechanical throttle body.

For what it's worth - and it may not be much - but the battery looks small for the car and the oil filler cap is a cheap aftermarket. Still, at the price, I'd go look at it in heartbeat.
