Thanks for responses guys. I'm buying the car from a guy I know fairly well, reason why he's selling is that he lost his job, and needs a cheaper commuter and some cash on hand. He bought it from a guy who purchased the car from his father whom was the original owner. My other good buddy is playing middle man, he works at a landrover/jag/volvo dealership and has pulled up a carfax for me. Clean.
I'm fairly good with mechanics as I've done my own swaps, wire harness jobs, brakes, suspension before (note that I say fairly, i'm by far a novice but I up for the task as long as theres a book near by.). I have my share of tools, although like any guy, i need alot more, but thanks for the heads up.
I've given the car a good walk around, the body is solid except for the door dings and 15yrs worth of driving. The interior itself is very nice, I was way surprised by the good condition, other than the drivers seat. The drivers seat as with most leather seats of 15yrs of age shows it. But it's not BAD. I've given the seals and rubber a good looking at too, some might need replacing but the sunroof seals looked ok. As far as it shifting very smooth, I maen that in a way that the clutch is still stiff, and the gears just click in place. Almost like a new car.

Thanks again,
Brandon
