Hi this is average mileage for the age of the car just test drive it and check you can get all gears and listen for any knocking noises coming from the engine as this could be expensive engine rebuild.
Also check the steering lock in both ways and listen for any noises whilst driving on full lock as this would mean new drive shafts and wheel bearings need replacing.
Also check for any smoke coming out of exhaust as this could also mean engine rebuild.
check all oil water etc.
If all this is ok then go ahead and buy the car as they are pretty reliable and easy to maintain just make sure its been serviced regular and you should have no problems just check the front of the car underneath the bonnet for any accident damage because if its had a front end bump it could be out of allignment and dangerous to drive but you should notice any problems of the sort on a road test.

Let me know if you need further assistance.
Good look with buying your car and wish you all the best...

check the air and fuel filters, if dirty replace an try again

belt replacement is recomed every 60,000 miles. if it breaks you will bend valves which is more expencive to fix.

yes you should always have the cam sprockets aligned with tdc and the engine should be on tdc whenever removing or installing the heads.

Need to do head gasket job. i am getting ready to do the same to my legend in a few days. mine has the same symptoms as yours does.

check the relay and the pump itself

go to google and search there. i was able to find my master cylinder diagram there for my truck.
