Lookin' to buy an '89 9000s

To anyone out there,
I am looking into buying a 1989 9000S from one of my close friends parents. There are a few things wrong with it. 1) On tight corners there is a clicking noise, he said there is probably a torn boot and that the whole axle may need to be replaced. 2) The driver's window will not go down...the switch works and the motor seems to run but the window won't move. 3) They said there is a "considerable" oil leak but that it doesn't seem to lose a significant amount of oil. 4) There is little stuff like, the interior fogs up very easily (coolant leak maybe?) and there is a very high pitch squeel when the climate control fan is on the lowest setting. Also the headliner is coming down a bit and three defrost bands in the rear window don't work.
All that aside the thing drive very nice. Yeah it's NOT a turbo and IS an auto, but the traccy was rebuilt at 80,000 and the car has 158,000 on it now. I normally wouldn't consider buying this thing but he only wants $500 for it and I could hopefully figure out how to fix some stuff...even though I'm not very experienced at all. HELP!!!! I need to know what to do.
