Take it to a mechanic for a prepurchase inspection. Expect to pay about $100 for the evaluation. Ask him to prioritize the list. This way you know what it needs now and what can wait a while. If you get the cost for the listed repairs, you can adjust your offer to match what is needed if you are still interested after the check.
