Default 1997 grand tsi package

Im looking at a 1997 grand tsi package fully loaded.... The Good: It runs and drives great has plenty of power and shifts great... The Bad: the power steering lines leak , trans cooler lines leak and it needs a water pump and it shows coolant level sensor bad and low coolant ( probally from the water pump leaking) .....$4000 is the bottom dollar he would take for it.... Is it worth it and are those things i mentioned easy to fix... Im pretty mechanicly inclined... Need opinons ASAP

How many miles? 4000 isnt a bad deal depending on mileage, and other issues it my have. The waterpump is really a breeze to do.. Specially if you have some experience. The coolant sensor bad/low coolant level is one of two things it could be just the coolant resavor jugs sensor is out or the water pump is causing the low coolant.. I have a 97zj and whenever that light comes on i top off the resavor and shes good.. The sensor is one of two the on in the resavor or the coolant temp sensor by the t-stat...
