First things first, those wheels look massive. What is their diameter and what size tires are you using?

Secondly, you seem to have gotten a great deal. How many miles are on it? The driver seat looks a bit too dirty, I would recommend you buy a leather cleaning product called Leatherique. I used it on my car last summer and it worked wonders (there is a thread that I made specifically for it).

Also, I can see that some of your radio lights are not working. I can help you out if you're interested.

Finally, have you checked all your fluids, belts, filters, and hoses?
1. Coolant
2. Engine Oil/Filter
3. Automatic Transmission Fluid/Filter
4. Power Steering Fluid
5. Brake Fluid.
6. A/C and Power Steering Belts
7. Timing Belt (when was it lastly performed?)
8. Engine and Cabin Air Filters.
9. Three, yes three, Coolant Hoses - what is their condition like?

It has 136xxx miles on it, the rims are 245/35/20 which will be off as soon as i find new ones maybe 18s.So far I have changed all the fluids I do need a new timing belt and filters, the hoses are in good shape. Yes I would like help with my radio lights and anything else you can assist me with.
