Hey looking for advice on this prado.

Buyer said oil gauge AC and back window didn’t work, ball joints need replacing and tires. Other than that mechanic said no rust or any other issues. Mechanic said you’d want to do a test on the oil gauge before so you can at least make sure the oil pump isn’t completely shot. Another thing it seemed like the engine had paint peeling don’t know if that’s normal for an old prado or a sign the diesel engine is overheating. But I drove it around no problem got it up pretty fast with a little vibration but my guess is that’s the ball joints (mechanic said they’re in dire need of replacing). Asking for any advice. Thanks guys!
