just check the transmission for smooth shifts.

the "clutch buzz" on decelleraction affects most models, but it is really cosmetic.

i would have a mechanic take the valve cover off and inspect the valve retainers.

$.02 , get a 2002 1/2, all the important stuff in place, including (I know I am going to regret bringing this up) the upgraded banjo bolts. Good luck.
