buying a 91 lx??

Shoot, i didn't even see the steering wheel. It's a base model steering wheel. The V8 cars got a leather wrapped steering wheel for 90-93

Still looks like a swapped 4-banger to me. He put a V8 tach in the cluster.

DOn't go by the dash vin, look for the vin on the body panels. If those are missing, i'd be very suspicious.
 
Just ask him why it has 4-banger parts on it...like the speedo, seats and steering wheel

There are mechanical things to look for as to clues of it being a previous 4-banger as well, but too much to list here
