thinking of buying svx 97

Hello all!!
I love the look of this car and have a deposit on a Black 97 for $15,000
It has 58k on it and is mint so I'm told. I read a lot of negative stuff on the trans.Would I need to aftermarket stuff still. Was this all fixed by 97? I don't feel like buying a tempermental high maintenance car. If this is that please be honest and tell me that It would be wise to look elsewhere. If 97's are cool I'm all over it.
thanks so much for any advice!!
slender!!!
