Well I'm not familiar with the model but those problems are common to all makes & models...

You have to realize you are buying something with some major engine problems and could go way deeper than just a gasket set and a lot of work.... You better price it accordly and make sure the vehicle is even worth investing that type of money & time in....

Totally agree with Sidom, you would be buying a vehicle needing major engine repair and the first order would be to pressuretest the cooling system. Coolant and oil should NEVER mix. Is this an auto trans ? Asking because of the possibility of a trans cooler leaking into the radiator. Guessing
