Should I buy this?

Owner says it just had the HG, T belt, and clutch done.

Says it needs an alternator, a BOV, fluids and a little TLC.

Lists the car has
CT26 turbo
5 speed w rear LSD
195k on clock
New HeadGasket and all upper intake gaskets
New Timing Belt
New stage 3 clutch IIRC
Bomz Racing Cone filter
shaved door handles
Pioneer HU and speakers
white edition sawblades

He wants a grand, I have a spare grand and have always wanted an MK3 but I have never had or worked on a Turbo car, so for a newb, is this straight up fix that I could do. I do have some ability to fix car problems, but have never pulled a engine and never done a rebuild before(Doesn't need it, just stating what I believe my mechanical abilities to be).

What he said engine looks like right now.

FWIW it's an 89 and a 5 speed
