A good deal?

I looked at 97 maxima today thats se, stick, and cloth exactly what im looking for. The mileage was very high 128,000. The only issue is that it had a check engine light on. I had a mechanic at the dealership tell em what it was for and he said knock sensor and egr valve/solenoid. I saw in the faq about changing the knock sensor and it dosen't seem to difficult, but basically my question is... are these codes together an indication of a much bigger problem? Could this egr code mean that a whole host of things could possibly be wrong?
I normally would have searched on this subject but I can't.

its up for 4995 its at a dealership which I prefer to buy private but still the price is real good. I'm just worried about the egr code.
