good deal?

i was drivin down the road yesterday and noticed this bad boy. its a 4cyl sr5 and it has the sfa so its eithe a 84 or 85 right? anyways the frame is solid with jsut minor surface rust, no rust on body, great interior and nothin wrong mechanically. it runs like a top. okay the bad: the shocks are about rusted into, needs new tires, and it has 221,000 on the clock. guy said he wants $1200 but he said he needs the money so he'll consider any offers. im about 97% sure i can get it for $800. does this sound like a deal to u guys? should i try and get it or what? but it does has some dents and dings but nothin major. and comes with 2 extra doors. why he has them.. i dont know
