I saw an ad today for a 1997 ford escort for $550 OBO. Says everything is fine on the car except the engine has a knock in it. What is the best and worst case scenario for what could be wrong with this car? And how much time and/or money will it cost to fix the problem? Any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated. If there is something relatively cheap I can do I think I can snatch this car up, fix it, and sell it for 5-600 dollars profit. There was another 97 escort listed right below it for $2200...
