Everything looks good, Only thing that will come up is water pump, but you cant avoid that. Test drive it, look for obvious leaks.

I was initially skeptical of the oyster interior but after owning mostly black leather and a car with coral red, it's actually pretty nice with the Msport black headliner. Nice contrast that you don't get with a tan/beige interior an a non-msport.

Appearance wise, tinting, lowering the ix and putting better wheels on it (what's up with those wheels? where are the stock style 193's?) will give it a sportier appearance than black leather.

Side note - make sure the car is fully waxed an polished outside. That they took pictures of it covered in water is a bad sign, that's usually done to hide paint flaws.
