Default Buying another XJ

I'm thinking about buying a 1989 XJ for only $300. Its a 4.0 and has no spark. I'm a little worried about what all the different possibilities it could be. He said he was driving it when it died. Suprisingly it didn't have any leaks. It looks like he took pretty good care of it but said he was sick of putting money in it. Think I should buy it?

So here is what I got for $300. Front to rear. High pinion D30, 4.0L, very leaky PS pump, needs right front brake hose, not sure what tranny has power switch for tranny though guessing AW4, NP 242 transfer case, D35, adjustable air shocks, fuel gauge doesn't work, electric mirrors, leather interior, rusted through floor boards on both sides in front, oh and needs intake gasket.
