92 svx

I found a 92 svx, all wheel drive loaded car in the paper for $500. The front end has some damage. As far as I can tell, I will need to replace the hood, headlighs, and maybe a bumper. The very fronts of the front quater panles are kinked in. (first 4in) I think I can leave them alone for now and put a bra over it to cover it up. The car is rust free, great interior, 100,000 miles on it. I have loved this car my hole life, and now I have the chance to get one. Would this car be good buy? I heard things about the trannys going bad. Is this going to be a big expence for me if I get into fixing this car? What else should I look out for? Thank you
