You have to assume worst case at that many miles without any other confirming info:

Water Pump $300
AOS $400
Oil Change $200

Thats just normal wear stuff at ~80k miles so if it has issues, then add that on top.

History and or PPI is vital as without it your looking at almost $5,000 in repairs if they have not been done yet.

You could offer the seller $8K if he does those things on the list above before turning the car over to you, so you can enjoy the car for years without any worries.
It already has new tires according to the post.

Have the dealer throw in an oil change w/ recommended oil in that price.

If you do the clutch, you should do the IMS bearing too, although that car has the big bearing dual row bearing... the strongest.

PPI would be good...
