Excellent advice given by everyone above. Nothing i can think of to add. As HH56 points out the TL problem is most likely just electrical, no big dealeo. The brake problem indicates a complete inspection is needed.

PAY close attention to RUST or repaired rust areas!!!!!!

Since it is not really driveable but u can hear the engine run it's about a $2k to maybe $3k car ASsUMING minimum rust.

If it's real rusty/extensive 'repaired' rust then i would avoid it for anything other than just a parts car or maybe just a fun driver car.
