There is no problem using any Dino oil as long as it was changed on a regular basis, or maybe she ran synthetic and never changed the oil. Remove the filler cap and check inside the engine for buildup, also pull dipstick to see if any varnish.
Certain replacement mufflers come with no tips e.g. Midas for one. One can buy the chrome tailpipe extensions and they will make the exhaust look as good as new
Many Max’s will rust in certain locations as condensation is trapped and lingers between the panels, but it doesn’t mean the body is rusting out. As it's RI, I’d certainly check the rest of the car very closely, as well as the underside.
The cost to fix the rust, if done by a shop would be quite high, so you’re better off doing it yourself, but if it’s an area you don’t want to deal with pass on the deal, but the rust needs to be addressed, or it will spread quickly.
Make certain that the check engine light comes on when the key is turned to the on position, just to verify it wasn’t removed or burnt out. If the car runs well, A/C works fine, steers/drives straight and no noticeable problems with the brakes, and the body/tires are in decent condition, for $2900 it seems like a fair deal, but not too crazy about the added front air dam.
