How serious are these symptoms??

In my search for an inexpensive used Saab to drive to work and back, I came across an '88 900 16-valve recently. It sometimes slips out of 1st and 3rd when decelerating (but stays in gear if the shift lever is held under deceleration but otherwise operates normally in all other gears) and the steering is a little stiff, I'm told, especially after not being driven for a while. Are these obvious signs of serious trouble (and $$$) on the horizon, or might the car survive and go on like this for a good while. Wish I had more specifics, but I'll gladly take any advice offered. Thanks to all.
