Most likely issues from lack of proper maintenance and repairs from previous owners, plus a little bit of TLC needed for any 30-year-old car.

Um, you are comparing a 10-15 year old car against a 30-year old car? Not exactly apples to apples. A better comparison would be the decade-old Toyota against a 2000-vintage E320 wagon.
