I won't argue the auto transmission was even less good than the 5-speed was, but you can't just write them off sight unseen. If the car was well maintained and the owner wasn't too aggressive with the transmission, there is no reason to believe if it works now it won't work tomorrow. Sure, caution is called for, for "walk away" is pretty knee-jerk.
Also, FWIW, heat is the enemy of automatic transmissions. If there are problems, they'll show up first when the transmission is nice and warm, not the other way around.
