It sounds like a small can of worms to me. Being that your information is second hand, it would be somewhat pretentious to start suggesting solutions. However, it doesn't sound terribly serious to me.
Thing is, it is really hard to find anyone who knows how to diagnose these problems correctly so if you do get it, count on doing the diagnosis yourself with the help of some of the people here.
If you don't mind, how much is he asking? If it's cheap enough, then maybe, but otherwise I might be a little cautious.
For example, why does the fan need replacing, and how long has it been non-functional? Has the car been overheated badly? It may need headgaskets, if not today who says not tomorrow?
If it really is flooding on hotstart, is it trying to fire at all? Is there spark? Are the injectors holding pressure? It could be the ECT is bad and the car is trying to run terribly rich.
Or maybe it's not flooding at all and the crank sensor is going bad.
See, too many variables without some more information. Unfortunately until you have the car in your posession it is just going to be a gamble. Is it a gamble you are prepared to take?
