Question neeed ADVICE!!! i am goiung to buy an eclipse

well okay to make things a lil bit more clear i am not a car person (knoledge wise) i am supposedly getting this great deal on a 1995 eclpse gs its has 150XXXmiles its standard for only 600 buck i mean it isnt much but how the economy is yeah it is,,,,,,, well ima explain the car its greenish black its has a nice wing but it has a lot of issue the clutch master cylinder needs to be replaced because the gears are very hard to put in gear (btw i am new too standard) the door hinge is broken so the door declines when open
parts i need
DOOR LORCK MODULE WINDOW IS DOW =(
MASTER CYLINDER (I THINK CLUTCH TOO)
DOORL HANDLE WHICH IS CHEAP (NO WORRY)
ITS NEEDS TO BE PAINTED IT HAS TWO HREY DOORS AND THE HOOD AND FENDER (R SIDE) AND THE BUMPER ARE GREY
INTERIOR IS A MESS BUT DONT REALLY MATTER
.
.
.THE GOODS WELL IN A WAY
IT HAS A AN INTAKE ENGINE SOUNDS REALLY CLEAN
CLEAN TITLE
GSX INTERIOR
NICE SPORTY LOOKING WING AND I AM SURE ITS NOT ORIGINALLY FROM THE CAR
A NICE SOUND SYSTEM BUT NO HEAD UNIT =(
HIDS
3 INCH EXHAUST
17 KONEIG RIMS (HOW EVER U SPELL THAT S###)
TIRES ARE GOOD
SO ARE BRAKES
I MEAN I HAVE PICTURES IF you would like to see it i would text you pics
i dont really know what to do
like i like it but i dont want to bite more then what i can chew i am not willing to spend a fortune like i want to doight but lil by lil

If you dont know what your looking at take to a local shop and have them check it over.

The 2g's had problems w/ strut towers rotting out, lower balljoints failing and the 420a 's blowing head gaskets.

The 420a is the engine code for the 2g non turbo, 4g63 is the turbo engine.

The strut towers I mentioned are where they bolt to the body. Here is an example pic.

To fix it you have to cut out the infected area and weld in a new peice of metal. It can be a lot of work lol.
