I am not an expert, but if you say you are a beginner I would not buy this car if I were you. You may run into all kinds of problems from rust (which is the worst and expensive, to engine problem which are much easier to fix). Just my opinion. I would try to find a running car so you can test drive it and have an idea of what it needs. Good luck.
