First of all, where are you located?
If you can't get access to replacement parts, don't get into it.

Second, but the pics, you're looking at a base model.
The manual crank windows give that away.
It does have a sunroof, so it's really nothing special.
I can't tell if the wheels are 4-lug or 5-lug?
It looks like 5-lug, but that doesn't make sense on a base model.
Sport model, perhaps?

Third, how much miles?

$1,500 is kinda high for an FC "with problems".
You should be able to get a "good, running" FC for that kinda money.
IMO, that car isn't worth more than $1,000.

The car is over 20 years old.
Lots of stuff fails in a 20+ year old car.
Are you willing to put up with that broken crap?
Most people aren't.
Replacement parts are getting hard to find, and / or the dealer is going to ream you for brand, new replacements.
As a rule, I budget an extra $1,000 just to fix everything on a pre-owned FC...
Can you stomach that?
It's a lot of money for a 20+ year old car...
