scanning generally exposes underlying issues but I'll suggest you get a very competent mechanic to look over the car first before purchase since you can't really vouch for her maintenance history or condition of engine and transmission. Honestly, it's a very sweet car to drive but it didn't like yeye mechanics. Gazzuzz can look it over for a fee. My cousin has been using his own for donkey years even while heavily abused (you'll cry walahi) before he cleaned it up again this year, now it's like brand new. I'm also looking at the 07/08 as a support option since I don't enjoy the power of my present car. If the price is fair, engine and transmission are okay then there's really nothing stopping you

use ONLY recommended fluid

For me, it is the best car to own. If you have the money for real maintenance.
