It sounds like this car has big issues, even if this guys mother never maintained it shouldn't be that rough unless it was abused as well, my mom bought a 2000 metro with around 72,000 miles and the only thing the original owner had done was had the exhaust welded when it rusted and he put a set of tires on it, he figured selling a car when it needed tires for the 2nd time was the time to sell it, he never did any other work to the car and it drives like it was brand new.
Another one that I drove that seemed to be closer to what you had looked at had been owned by a 18 year old who tried to put an amp and sub woofer in it, the car died while I was taking it for a test drive and I had to push it back to their house!
