HELP - Supposed to buy this Friday...

Hello all,

I am supposed to be buying my second SVX this Friday. It has everything done to it I don't have the time or $ to do to mine (5 spd, PWR rad, etc. etc. on down through to the Stebro)...

The seller went to safety it at the dealer today and came back with these observations...

"Everything during certification inspection was ok except that;
front engine is leaking a bit of oil, power steering is only pumping
at half power - (as you may have noticed during test drive) needs
further analysis, hood struts have to be replaced for certification."

1) Am I getting myself into something I can't handle - i.e. I have little money, time, or mechanical expertise..
2) Should I demand these be done prior to the sale at his expense (doubtful that he would...)
3) Buy it anyway, swap with my current pump (affecting my hopeful near future sale), get struts from Canadian Tire (I remember a thread with $30 "options" and hope the leak is not a big deal....

Thanks for your responses...
