Never owned an auto box so can't help you there.

Depends on the symptoms, could be as cheap as a switch, or more expensive motor or ECU. Or the regulator.

3. The dash is feeling off(the wood stuff). Any where I can buy a dash kit?

I don't have one, but I see them on ebay all the time.

4. The lady said at 65mph she gets a hesitation and the car kinda shakes alittle when she gives it some decent amount of gas. Her husband said it sounds like a misfire(Besides plugs/wires) what could it be?

Could be.

I hope I dont come off as like super needy and asking alot.

Don't expect really quick answers. If you want to post to a high traffic board where you might get an quick answer, try discoweb. More traffic there.
For the brake light switch you can get them for about $15, I think, from rockauto and spend 10 min changing it yourself.

anyone?

OK...I'll bite. Do I understand that you haven't test driven this vehicle because it won't shift out of Park? I suggest you ask her to have it towed to the shop and that she call you back once it's fixed and you can drive it. Then, if you are totally in love, at least have the vehicle thoroughly gone over by the dealer with a written list of problems - this will cost you about $100 but is money well spent.

There are so many possibilities about the shift problem and 'hesitation at 65 mph'/shakes (and other problems) you should not buy until those two problems are fixed. As to the driver's window, expect about a $400 - $500 bill from the dealer. The peeling dash is cosmetic/unimportant - check that the dash itself isn't delaminating near where the dash meets the windshield.

Be careful, these are great vehicles but they are not Toyotas.

I can't tell you the number of vehicles that I flipped since the 60s at 'break even' or a loss, not even counting my time. Some (Volvos) I always did well on - but it is so much more difficult now with the sophisticated electronics and loads of accessories. Best of luck to you!
