I'd be asking about the service history and how it's been used. If it's been taken for a good drive every weekend thats much better than doing a few miles each day IMO. Also it'll be due a cambelt next year if the owner has followed the service intervals properly.
Cheap rebuild best I was quoted was £475+vat. My box had a metallic grating sound at high revs which turned out to be the metal bracket the gearbox mount bolts to being snapped in half.
