Depends on the body condition doesn't it.
You can always fix any mechanical issues but if it happens
to be rust free it has the potential of being a decent car.
An hour with a blow dryer would get rid of the stickers.

I say this after having bought a rust-free ZT in July for much more than that and since done the clutch,
belts, t-stat, brakes and having a set of lower arms in the garage waiting for the motivation to install them.
No stickers on mine though! Mind you, my ZT was the only one for sale for 3000 miles.

Well if it's managed 229,000 miles, the engine must have been put together well, and looked after. It does mention a belt changed -which one? Depending on how long since all those parts were renewed, a couple of hours with a hair dryer, petrol and polish, and it could be quite respectable. Unfortunately, quality of pics and all those stickers don't give any clue to paintwork condition. However, there are a lot of nicer ones around for £1,000.

Sounds good to me

I'm sure a hairdryer would be invaluable here, both in terms of removing the stickers from the bodywork, and drying your long platinum blond tresses

This was for sale earlier in the year for £2500 and he said then he wouldn't take any less.

Is that not supposed to be accompanied by "if not sold it will be scrapped"

The worst thing about it is that hideous steering wheel cover.
