Should I get a 1987 Supra

I recenty hit a deer and wrecked my Honda Civic so I'm looking for another car. I haven't had much luck finding anything good in my price range untill I came across a 1987 supra turbo with a blown head gasket and bald tires. The car has 108k on it but its in perfect shape because an adult owned it for most of its life. The car is selling for $2500 and im just wondering about some things.
1. How hard is it to change the headgasket or how much will it cost to get fixed?
2. How reliable are Supras? I need this car to run for a while and I don't want to keep putting money into it to replace parts.
3. What are common problems with supra of that year and what should be done to tune it up at over 100k miles?
