Default Brake and PS problem

I accidently posted this in new member forum so would a mod please be as so kind to delete that one.
-------

Alright I wanted to ask a few things. The Disco I'm about to look at has a few issues with it, it doesn't discourage me from buying it but I want to know what I'm getting into. The poster of the ad says that it needs a new Power Steering Pump, I searched on autozone it runs roughly around $200-$300. Is this pretty easy to do by myself, I'm not pro at fixing cars but I'm not dumb either, is there some sort of guide that can help me with doing this?

The other thing, from what he told me on the phone is that theres brake problems with it. He thinks there's moisture in the line from it sitting since December. If the deal goes through I plan on bleeding the brakes on site. Could this be the issue, or do you believe it's something else?

There's plenty of things that make me want this. 4x4, new tires, new struts, new shocks, new head gasket, no RUST, no damage whatsoever. He's the 2nd owner, had it since 1996. It's a 1994.

Bleed the brakes before you buy it just incase there is more of a brake problem. Just having it sit for 2 or 3 months won't cause brake problems, are the warning lights on, have you driven it, if so how do the brake react?
