Indeed it is pretty good value. Gearbox whine might stop if you change the fluid. Or least at all it might help.
When was the last cambelt change?
I wouldn't bother changing the gearbox or getting it rebuilt. It's only a bit of whine so long as the syncro's don't pop out etc. My gearbox has a bit of whine in fourth but it's been like that the last 30k with no let up and it's not got any worse.
I suspect at some point the gearbox oil has run low and cause accelerated wear once the box was warm.
Put some decent fluid in it and just see how it goes.

Is she still for sale? Does she have a busso or gm engine? I really want a sportwagon but may need to have this instead simply to satiate my desire for a busso powered car.
