Thanks for all the great feedback and help.
Checked it out today. There were just a few things off with it that is making me lean towards "no." Namely, the thought of getting a paint job, and the price. If it was painted, I probably would've bought it. I'll probably change my mind a million times this week.
I couldn't find any major rust problems, although it was dripping a little bit of oil. The engine sounded great, started right up. No weird noises (besides me grinding a gear, whoops). It did have the round taillights, and the tailpipe in the center; is that right for that year? I just had an overall feeling that something else was up, and I didn't quite come prepared to fully look over the car. I did bring a print out of one of the articles in the FAQs, which helped.
First time driving a 2002, and I am absolutely in love. Definitely decided I want one.
