Engine bays are a personnel thing really. On my Evo it was mint. On my Scoob it hasn't been touched. Nothing wrong with eighther car. The most important thing with this p1 in my book & why it might be worth the money is the fact it only has ONE owner from new & if that mileage is proven! Well were can you buy another P1 like that?
If that all stacks up you can ask what you like within reason.
