Good or Bad Purchase?

I may purchase a 1993 Supra with 104,000 miles. The seller says that mechanic said 'the coolant level was very low, and upon further inspection spark plugs discolored with coolant. Recommend head gasket and timing belt replacement.' Does this sound logical? If so, once fixed should that be it, or is there a high probability of future problems? It's probably apparent, but if not - I have no mechanical knowledge, and don't want to get screwed out of money or time. Thanks for any help. Oh, and if the diagnosis makes sense, how much should it cost?
