Default '98 GSR -- should I buy this car?

Hey everyone -- first time poster here. Currently a '00 Civic owner, considering buying the car below from a friend of a friend in a nearby town.

Based on all the goodies and all the amazing work this gentleman put into this car, should I buy it? If so, how much should I be willing to pay for it? I've got a firm price desired from him, but I wanted to ask y'all first. The exterior is perfect, it has never been boosted or nitrous-shot, and it is just beautiful. With the mods, it currently pulls about ~160hp at the wheels on the dyno.

Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated.

THANKS!
Wizzy
