He's only 90 min away or so... so even if the car breaks down its an inconvenience, not the end of the world. My 99 9-3 has 181K miles... so if you can pick up a "cherry" one for $1K, I'm guessing that leaves a lot of room in the budget for repairs & preemptive spare parts, like a spare used DIC in the truck.
