Decent Deal? Anything stick out that should cause me to not make the trek?

I did not see where you said how far you would have to travel (that I saw at least). From what I see, I would not want to pay $27K for it. However, If the price is not firm, go and look at it, and, if you like it, offer $18-20K. The seller may not like that, but if you point out the flaws, he might realize that he will never get $27K for it. If the distance is not too great, it would be worth the effort.
