It's all about proper maintenance. If it drives out ok, no weird sounds, shifts good and no major leaks for 950 that's a fairly good price. If in USA stop by auto zone while test driving have them read the codes. Most will do for free. Post codes back on here and we can help you understand why the cel is on and how big a problem it might be.

You can't go too far wrong for $950. But do as dandyyoun suggested, get the OBDII codes. Look at the oil, make sure it looks right, no water in it. Drive it and see if it shifts ok. And I mean that for either manual or auto. Ask if there are service records. Run a CarFax...it's money well spent.
