Good call on that one.
I would just make sure the basics are ok. If it passes a compression test, and the timing belt doesnt look too bad (Shoulve been replaced between 60-90k miles), the rest is usually an easy fix. The hard engagement to first gear is most likely just clutch hydraulics/bleeding. But at the same time I tend to be pretty lenient when it comes to this stuff because I can fix it all in my sleep. 4200 is cheap, and in my case worth the risk. My brother buys car with broken timing belts and such all the time because they go cheap, its an easy fix, and then you make some good cash. But it all depends on how much work you can do yourself, and wether or not you have a budget set aside for fxing any problems that arise. Another point I make is that the car could look the tits when you go to buy it, but then fall apart 1000 miles later. You just can't tell. Either way good luck
