They already covered most of the major points. I know you have the diagnostic skills to fix all of the little gremlins. Most of them will be ignition/vacuum related. It's up to you man. I don't know what parts cost over there but I'd take that into consideration too. With it being a 93 (SD tune instead of MAF) I think you are pretty limited on what you can do with it as well.

Good decision, bro. We could get projects at the same time! I'm getting into a car payment here pretty soon, but it shouldn't take me more than a year to pay it off.
Gonna get a random beater to drive for a few years.
Time to craigslist a geo metro :D

I've had to use it to get an old car to start a few times... but I've never heard of one becoming dependent on it. Care to shed some light on it?

person gets lazy to fix the real problem of the car and basically sprays ether as a quick lazy fix every time he starts the car eventually damaging the plugs if used regularly.
