No forward is not good.
Check fluid level and condition.
97 has a lot of ign with problems.
But it still should have low gear.

You may be buying a pig in the pokie without much pork.:rofl:

If you can talk to the owner and pin him down on any transmission problems he has had with it.

190K is high mileage.
In my neck of the woods you can get 450 -550 US dollars selling them for scrap metal.
They always tell me do not pay more for anything than you can get out of it reselling it.

Let us know how it goes.
