Thanks, I agree I don't think there is that big of a risk here. And i don't think I will find many 89s for 4k. I am usually lucky with cars like this and my sense is that this could be a great car.
I am a bit worried about the overheating, I thought maybe a bad head gasket but the oil isn't milky and the car ran fine. Any other damage that may have occurred?

Have you had a way of checking the tension on the belts? Were they even done properly last time? I wouldn't drive it until it's had a PPI done by someone VERY familiar with these cars.

While I do agree that you shouldn't let others dictate your decision, wiring issues can be extremely difficult to diagnose and repair. All things must be taken into consideration. I always keep in mind the saying that "there's nothing more expensive than a cheap Porsche."
