High price. Offer less if a mechanic checks it out and there are no problems with the head gaskets or other costly things. Seems like this car has had a LOT of repairs.

I did check the car out myself and the guy was honest about his car, he said the head gasket had not been changed and I noticed the white acid looking stuff on the inside of the hood which from other sites is a sign of a failing head gasket and so I asked about any issues of leaking coolant and he replied he thought he was burning some coolant okay well in my opinion it needs a head gasket job $1500-$2000, decent car otherwise, thanks but no thanks

West Coast steed with no quarter nor rocker rot? I'd say it's a bargain if the HGs aren't weeping. The more prior repairs the better! Good luck.
