Default some questions

I was test driving a 93 Z yesterday and it wasnt exactly in the best shape but it was by no means horrible either, but id like to know how hard the things im looking at replacing would be. my first concern was when i was flooring it "ABS Inop" would come on every now and then and flicker then go away once i slowed down, i was roughly doing 65~75 when it would come on. is that normal or do i have a bad sensor, brakes, ect? The lifts on the hatchback were shot, how expensive and hard are those to replace? The seal on the door itself was able to be removed from the body, im assuming those are cheap the clips that held it in just looked shot to me. The interior door panel was kind of loose, it looked like someone had tried to replace a speak and may not have put it back on right, but worst case scenerio those panels cant be too much to replace. the electronic locks were fried too, how much/hard are those to replace? The dealer wants 4.5k for it, but i think thats too high, its a 93 with ~129k on it, ran like a champ but it needs some TLC. Thanks everyone, and sorry if these are beginner questions.

sorry forgot to mention. it did brake just fine, both with gradual slow down and sudden stops. Im just concerned with ABS living in IL the winters will kill me without it.

$4500 on a 1993 with 129K with all of them sorts of problems is a little above average in my opinion. I think you could save yourself about $2000 if you buy it from a private party with about the same amount of stuff wrong with it. I cant even belive its on a dealer lot with a loose door panel like that. You best tell them to fix all the problems and then you may consider $4500
