Should I buy this Z?

So I found a guy selling a 92 TT Z with quite a bit of work done to it:

Volk Rays Whels
Built engine
wiseco pistons/eagle rods/cometic head gasket
ARP studs
Gt600R turbos
z1 intercoolers
CAI
Greddy boost controller
Neo fuel ECU
Z1 Manifodls
Downpipes
Stillen Exhaust
shocks (cant remember which ones)
lowering springs
New arms
etc.
Car has about 70k on it. The motor was built in 2008 (%8k) and then blew a rad hose in 2010. It was rebuilt again and had the passenger head machined, new rings, and cometic gaskets put in ($6k). I was shown all receipts built by a shop thatspecializes in Nissans. Car did 460rwhp on pump gas.
The body is good (8/10)
Interior 8/10 Normal wear and tear
it has new tires in the rear, and ball joints.
Car needs a starter.
The seller wants $12K for it. I am not sure if this is a good deal or if a built car will turn out to be a huge headache down the road. Any suggestions appreciated.

12k is really high for that car even with all the modifications. Considering how you have to buy a starter and get it installed and you cant test drive it or drive it away and pay for towing costs. I would pay 8k or just save my money and wait because also the guy was clearly pushing his car quite a lot so who knows what other problems it may have due to rebuilding the engine so many times. Its your call though
