How much will it cost to fix and replace?, Replace seat cover and paint Options

[Kaneda101]

I"m thinking about buying a red '95 GT from a private party. They're selling it for $5 grand, but there's all sort of damages to the car. First, the leather seats are all messed up. There's wear and tear and cracks all over, it's not pretty. Second there's a long scrape mark on the side of the driver side which starts from the rear and ends at the driver side door, they covered it with a different red paint that does not match the car color. It also could be a crack instead of a scrape. Then there's a few chipped paint from the front because of little rock from driving. How much will it cost me to replace the seats and cover up the scrape/crack, also even paint the car to my favorite color, black? Is it worth buying?

ANy input is helpful...

I would't pay that price either. it will take at least 1k to get it looking in shape. and there are those nickle and dime problems also...
