You need to ask yourself if you are able to do the work on the car yourself and know that with that many miles on it, there will be a constant need to be fixing little things. If not, this car will nickel and dime you to death.

The oil leak can range from a small stupid leak like a valve cover to a more serious one like an oil pan leak or a seal, etc.

Time and temp gauges are replaceable and the idle can be generally pretty simple.

Recycle to the first para and ask it again and again.
