Is it a problem that a car pops out of first gear?

-I really want to buy this Nissan Xterra for my first car. I found one on Craigslist for a really good deal at $4400. It has really low miles and everything is great, except the guy said it pops out of first gear. Is this a big problem? The guy said he drives it all the time and he just starts in 2nd, and he also said to fix it it just needs "adjusting" but who the hell knows if hes telling the truth. For all I know it could need a total transmission rebuild. So, does it matter that it pops out of first gear, and how much would it cost to get it fixed? Thanks!It is either a broken gear tooth, a worn synchronizer, a failed first gear selector shaft detent spring, or gear selector shaft bushing(s). If it were the only transmission around, I would order parts and repair it, but it is likely cheaper to buy a used recycler transmission, then just swap it out.
