Is this car worth the money?

ok...im lookin at a car cuz im about to sell my altima. my altima has 225k miles but is pimped out so my friend wants it badly.i picked up a cadi for cheap from my friend so i also need to fix that. a friend of mine has a jetta gls he wants to sell. it has 149k, 5spd, shifts like a dream and can be height adjusted. i will also get some nice 16 inch rims with it. heres the drawback..it has a salvage title, but lookin at the car u can tell. it drives pretty well, but might need some paint work. he said 1500 for it all...the book value for that car in fair condition is 2600. do u think i should buy it?why or why not?
