Neighbor issue
Would it bother you if the people who were selling their house were doing it because they didn't get along with their neighbors on one side?
My thinking is that how other people related to each other isn't really going to be how I relate to them. Then again, if they are just those kind of people, then that could suck.
Re: Neighbor issue
What's the definition of "didn't get along?" Is it loud parties, drugs, cars on the lawn, barking dogs, driving over petunias, garbage blowing into your yard?
I think it's got to be one of those major issues to precipitate a move, so yes, I'd think long and hard about it. It costs thousands, possibly tens of thousands depending on the price point, to sell and move, so it's got to be really bad if they're moving only because of the neighbors.

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
Anything you can achieve through hard work, you could also just buy.
I have no idea. It is just basically conjecture at this point. They lived there 30 years and have recently bought a bigger house with a pool in a nicer neighborhood. I have driven past several times. I have never seen the neighbor in question, but the house is nice and well cared for in a nice neighborhood. I don't see any red flags.
Basically my dad asked the neighbor on the other side if there was any issues, and the guy said, "I can't say". My dad implied it was a yes, but I am not going to get in it sort of answer.
I told my dad it is kind of late at this point. We already have a signed contract, and are closing in 2 weeks.
But my dad's mystery gossip isn't helping to settle my stomach about such a big purchase.
One neighbor's weird response wouldn't be enough to worry me about purchasing the house. If anything, maybe that neighbor giving the cryptic response is actually the problem. Seriously, that's just not enough information to go on.
Keep in mind that if the neighbors do anything crazy, you can always report them to the HOA and/or city. And put up a privacy fence.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. When we bought our house the sellers told us the neighbor to the right was an a-hole.
Come to find out that they thought he was an a-hole because he doesn't really like dogs, and the sellers used to leave theirs outside barking all the time, so he yelled at their dog once.
We don't let our dog bark, and the neighbor has been very friendly with us.
