And I know a possibility is that the head could be warped and whatnot. But I don't know eclipse's lol and a lot of people on here have helped so much so just wondering if it'd be worth it. But the one friend who been helping me so far is an eclipse hater so he's kinda biast towards the car as is lol. And I think it has a 6 bolt swap, but not sure on that

This is very true. Unless everything is in really good shape, $2500 for a non running 2g GST is a little steep honestly.
The main problem is that you cant drive the car. The test drive reveals A LOT! It could have a turbo or head that smokes, worn piston rings/low compression, bent valves, crankshaft end play (aka crankwalk), suspension issues, gear engagement issues, grinding between gears, clutch engagement/disengagement issues, the list goes on and on.
Unless you know and trust the seller on a personal level, I would be extremely thorough when you look over the car.
Personally, I would try and find a running GST, I see them for 3000-3500 all day long. and unless its a 98-99, $2500 isn't even a "good" deal for non running, engine in unknown condition DSM.
