me personally i wouldn't pay too much for the car, maybe a 1000 at most, new engine is nice , but everything else that is wrong with it, is gonna be time consuming, and cost some money. Such as the steering seal blown, is it just leaking or is there internal damage where you are gonna end up having to change it out. Find out why the cooling system is rusty, probably been sitting for a while. I mean if your gonna do all the work yourself, take your parts list and go to your auto parts store, get prices, and then make the guy an offer, and if there is any problems you can just show the guy look, i understand it has a new engine with 20k on it, but its gonna cost me this much money for all these parts. Another thing make sure he can show proof of the engine being new and only having 20k. should be able to show you a work order with the mileage of the vehicle at which they installed the engine, and then check the mileage now.
