SVX seeker seeks advice

I have only owned older generation subarus, EA82 series 4wds, and now mine eyes have been opened to the real world, the Subaru SVX. I have just recently begun researching this Knight in shining armour. Having discovered the bad points: premature transmission failure, rotors, and wheel bearings (not beefy enough), I find myself with the opportunity to buy one locally. It's a 92 LSi (VIN x85), with a brand new transmission installed, and it has 111k miles. It has the dark green ext. with grey int, the paint still shines (no fading), but the leather seats are worn, and I have not seen any 92's as of yet, with seats that aren't worn (no rips or tears, just your typical cracking). Asking price is at $4200, it has been offered to me for $2500. After test driving it, I determined it will need new rotors, at least, and the tires will need to be replaced. What should I offer for this car, is $2500 too much, and if so, would $2000 be a good offer considering the work that I would have to have done? The major plus of course is the new transmission, though it would still need a transmission cooler added for longevity. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, Thanks, SVX seeker
