New- Few questions

[Murdashow]

I came across this car on the internet and I really like the look of it. Sounds like a fairly reliable car with good performance. The only thing that scares me is the transmission and possibility of not finding parts.

The only car for sale in my area is a 1996 with 120k miles, and the asking price is $4,700. Have most of the transmission problems been fixed by the 96 model? Or should I be very careful of it? The other thing I am worried about is because it is such a rare car parts might be really expensive or hard to find. I searched and read yesterday that a windshield is $1,000+. My budget isn't very big right now, and I won't be able to dumb thouasands of dollars into the car each year. Is this car expensive to maintain?
