If it is cheap enough and you have it checked over by a competent mechanic - interior stuff can be fixed with some spray adhesive and little craftiness. Mechanical is where things start getting expensive (ie on big repair could cost as much as the car is worth… Think about that… And be prepared to make the repair or junk the car).

Is this a "good first car"? That's impossible to tell without knowing a lot more about it.

A sagging headliner is not the end of the world, but MAY be an indication of other poor maintenance practices on the part of the previous owner. Before you agree to buy this car, take it to an independent mechanic that YOU trust and have it inspected for defects or potential problems.
