Advice on V purchase?!

I'm looking at a 2004 black on black V with 106,000 miles on it. It has a couple of mods to it:
Eps 226/230 cam
pacesetter lt
corsa catback
tune from heintz
k&n drop in
the seller has also put new brakes, tires and a clutch in it in the past 3000 miles. I'm not scared of the high miles on it as it will be a weekend only car that I plan on rebuilding as time goes on. Ive searched and searched about the issues on this car so I know what could go wrong.
Some of the bads on the car:
Hard going into reverse
couple dings on door
driver rear door speaker grille has a small piece missing
2 small spider webs in paint on rear bumper.
He is currently asking $14000 which comes in 6000 below the price cap I was given by the warden (aka the wife). Is this a decent price? NADA is $15000 and KBB is $13500 both for excellent condition vehicles

Even though its got a new clutch, I wonder if that reverse thing would be helped by a thorough bleeding of the cutch's hydraulic system.

Dings in door could be eliminated for $100-150 depending on how many there are.

At 106k miles, it's just reaching the sweet spot on the motor break in. Good luck!
