Thinking about a purchase

I have the opportunity to get a 1996 Z3 (automatic) for just about 2.3 thousand and I need help with debating the purchase.

The car has 125k miles on it and the service seems to have been done regularly. a great condition body from what I can tell.

The seller says the check engine light is on for O2 sensors but that’s something I could replace in less than an hour on my own.

The soft top back has a rip but the purchase includes a new top that I would just have to install myself.

The speedometer has also stopped working which isn’t a deal breaker but might indicate larger issues.

I was wondering whether it’s worth going to see and if so what things I should look out for on the car. Also if there are any known issues with the car I would like to know what might need to be replaced or updated soon after getting it.

Also. what might be wrong with the speedometer?
