Take it for a test ride and make sure 1st thru 3rd don't jump out of gear. If it checks out then go for it.
If he's not willing to let you test ride it, see if he's negotiable on the price and with the money saved put it on a dyno before you commit. That's "IF" you want to be sure about the transmission.
Other than that they're pretty bullet proof. Other than general maintenance I don't see it being a money pit.
