Good or Bad Deal?

1990 Toyota Supra
Red, Turbo, Automatic, 123k miles, targa Top, 95% Clean interior, 95% Clean Exterior, $4800

I started it and it started fine. When I put the car in reverse and drive the car seemed to jerk but it went into the gear fine. car sounded smooth, no rough idle, good response to throttle. Only thing that scared me was the yellow light all the way to the left of the gauge cluster which looked like a filter warning light or something?. Can anyone fill me in on this yellow light and whether or not it's a good deal?

it 's a warning light the water reserve bottle is low . the bottle is up front near the drivers side headlight .
this indicates the car is using water .
not a great sign .
ask if the car has ever over heated

And check the underside of the radiator cap for milky white goo.

4800 seems a little expensive for now and these days, i bought mine for 5000 back in 1995. find a better deal, ive seen better deals these days. these cars are old but provide a pack for power. mine only had about 50,000 miles on it at the time.
