In the US, there were not960 series with a manual transmission. Its a very competent automatic, just flush it and put in a synthetic, either Mobil or Amsoil.

I'd be more worried about the Check Engine light than anything else, assuming the car checks out otherwise. This certainly isn't starting out well, and it may signal some previous abuse or unresolved issues. It was sold for some reason, after all.

Surely the dealer knows exactly what codes it's throwing. Write them doan and report back here. There are several who could give you lots of informed pinions from that data alone. Then ask him, along with a best guess of what it will take to fix it (from his perspective). This could be a good litmus test of his integrity.
