Advice wanted - please

Hi all,

My mate is looking to buy a car for towing (caravan) and he has shown me this advert:

http://www.preesall-garage.co.uk/17348/carstock.htm

(Page 3 item 22)

2004 53 plate R75 1.8 Connoisseur SE, 75000 miles - silver. Anyone got any opinions as to whether it is suitable or not, £3995 a good price or not (should he haggle that down)?
1.8 engine up to the job or could he really do with something a little bigger?
Does a 53 plate 1.8 petrol engine come with the new type head gasket fitted? Or could he have the dreaded HGF syndrome.

Thanks for any pointers
