3. Brake light is onNot good you will at least have to go thru the complete system
4. Front left fender - wrong battery size (too big) was installed, so the fender is offset compared to the driver's door. I hope it hasn't been there for too long...Another easy fix
5. Muffler is not perfectly straight, I wonder if it is a quick fix...Find out why?? may be just needs adjusting
6. The gap from the fender to the rear tires, on both sides, was different. Maybe it is because the car was parked sideway on a very small hill, but I'm not sure. The rear right shock had a color (don't remember which color) and left one was black.Should have yellow shocks this may be why the SRC light is on..Not uncommon for a C4 not to sit level
7. The rear bumper was a bit offset compared to the rear left fender, so we could see the shadow going on the fender on a sunny day. I really don't know what this one could be... get under the car and look for any damage

I agree with Steve.
One thing, when people replace alternators they typically do it wrong and have it rebuilt incorrectly or buy aftermarket and it fails relatively soon. Find out where they purchased it and get a receipt
Check the specifics on the carfax. If few owners and no "stories" I think this is a super buy!
Many cars can have issues and they can build up. Hence the very reasonable price
As far as the acceleration issues. Looks like injectors and that is a typical issue with ZR-1's. While your at it. Change the coil packs and other maintenance issues
Sorry didn't notice a discussion over condition of the paint and interior. Check the weatherstrip. Is it crisp? How is the windshield? Does it have the lamination and radar cutout? How is the leather interior? Wear on the drivers bolster? (Typical). Radio / cd work? If issues Normal!!
How about condition of the wheels? Tires new? Or original GSC tires
Good luck. Sounds like a car with potential!
