Reaper is spot on. Take it to a good mechanic and have them give it a go over. They usually charge a few $ for it, but it's well worth it to be sure. Definitely have them to a compression, leak down test on it. That will tell you what shape the motor is in. You can take a look at the tranny fluid yourself, just to get an idea of it's conditon, black or visible metal flakes is always a concern.
