Honestly, if it were me, I would be patient and find a well sorted car that had that stuff done already. You will pay a bit of a premium, but overall much less than what you would pay to have all of that done. IMS, clutch, main seal if not DIY is about 4Kish alone.
And, no... 2006-2009 failure rate is very low. Definitely worth a look. Depends on budget.
