Does it have seats ????
Just tell him those water cooled dubs are GREAT!  (just stirrin)
That aint bad. It is a work vehicle - right??
So i guess paint etc aint that important.
What about rust???
Sliding door solid???
No pops or farts from the exhaust??
Stays in gear??
Breaks work??
Hand brake???
Nothing really wrong with the solexes - i have them but would prefer Webers. (better economy)
Mate - it has 9 mths rego
Cant go to far wrong
If it feels right and suits your purposes.....
There has been a couple of sub $1000 steals lately but they didnt have rego.
Not too far off what you are looking at.

Use a magnet to test for bog EVERYWHERE - if it passes that test, it sounds like it's worth the money.
