$800 not running is way to high for my cheap Old Mechanic arse. I wouldn't buy it unless I could completely isolate the problem and know exactly what I needed to get everything in working order. Too many miles for me to mess with that car. If it had less than 100k miles (US) I might but I'm too old and tired for projects, unless they have a superb upside potential.
