Can't really comment on maintenance, but it is missing all of the plastic shrouding in the front and the front bumper has been replaced with a non OEM unit which makes me very suspicious that it's been hit in the front... nevermind the terrible front strut tower brace that doesn't even bolt to the firewall like the stock or TRD ones do.
It's not a turbo and it won't be without $5k+ getting dropped into it unless someone is a backyard mechanic extraordinaire... it also doesn't have a limited slip and first gen brakes/suspension. The 5SFE is only 140hp on a good day and slowwwwwwwwwww.
As someone mentioned, it's one saving grace is that it's a hardtop, which is somewhat rare. Project for someone who will do all the work themselves and has a source on parts at best. Even then they'll be way underwater on this financially after any kind of work.
