Would you buy an 2003 2.5 with 122K miles on it?

Or it could be something expensive like the clutch and/or clutch slave or the synchronizer gears in the transmission.

I might get banned for life from the forum for suggesting this, but a good way to diagnose bad syncro's is to put about 3 or 4 spoonfuls of very fine hardwood sawdust into the transmission.
The problem might clear up for a couple of thousand miles, too! (if the syncro's are indeed the problem)
(Any Used Car Dealer worth his snuff will tell you that sawdust in a tranny will work at least long enough to get the sold car driven off the lot!)
// Works for rod and bearing knock, too.
/// Crushed marbles in the oil will raise the compression of a bad cylinder.
//// If the problem ain't the tranny - well - it is now!

And my apologies for not being more obvious with my sarcasm! This car is appalling to the point of absurd.
