Maintenance/Repairs

Hello. I’m thinking of buying Opel Vectra B from one guy I sort of know. The price is cheap because of possible ECU problem. He told me he went to auto repair shop and they ran OBD on the car and they said that the OBD thing doesn’t even recognize the ECU of the car. The problem emerged when he was driving the car and the engine just suddenly stopped running. The car doesn’t start at the moment. I have read that one the symptoms of dead ECU is similar what happened to this car. Do I have to take anything into account if I buy used ECU for the car? Do I have to reprogram the immobilizer(or the key) or something like that? I found one on sale which comes with a key and some other stuff ( http://imgur.com/xoJcxNi ).
