Wow...nice score...my mechanic picked 1 up for $400 white with sunroof...correct 5 star rims and no spoiler...had a wiring problem that sparked a flame and the lady got nervous and sold it. I've been trying to purchase it from him provided i find a harness

wheels are from previous gen. they were probably steel to begin with. 3400 have bad lim gaskets its possible engine is hydro-locked and depending on the circumstances the engine could just need headgaskets, lim and uim gaskets and a good cleaning of oil and coolant. those engines can easily go twice that many miles if taken care of. regardless its a pretty nice car for cheap when you get it going.
