It's a painful pill I am willing to attempt to swallow. Of course, if I have the resources. I'm currently in that position. I was so ready to get a 2002 Esprit but I chose dump my cash elsewhere. I am having regrets but I may be short-sighted about these regrets.

The transmission was only a problem if you shifted into second at WOT. I always wanted an Esprit and looked at a dozen of them before I found the one I posted. I didn’t have any issues while I owned it except for having to replace the brake booster. I found a spare one and it rebuilt.
I ultimately sold it and made $10k without having to pull the engine. I’d say get one knowing you’ll only keep it for two or three years. It’s a difficult to car to drive, and the creaks and rattles do drive you crazy.
