Default tech problems

Hey... I have some questions... i might be purchasing a GS-T for really really really cheap and these are the two problems on the car.... can any DSM guru's tell me what is wrong and how much it'll be to fix it... thanks in advance guys!!!

"Transmission: first gear is shot , you cannot start in first at all, it just pops it out of gear, thats about it, so i'm not possitive what it is. some people have said it might just need a new speed sensor, they siad that causes the trans to go into "safe mode" and run kind of half assed.

engine: at about 4000 to 4500rpm the car will buck, i changed the spark plugs and wires and that didn't really help much. it sounds like there might be a boost leak or maybe it's hitting fuel cut, again i'm not sure.

the car is drivable to an extent; however, that 4000rpm deal kind of limits the higher speed at which you can cruise on the hwy. please just let me know as soon as we can work out the dates. the title is clear w/ no leans and good to go. thanks for your response."
