Look for other sellers. You also haven't told us how long ago he wanted to buy the car. If it was just last week keep in contact with him.
Edit: I saw he wants to pay for it in May, the kid can probably barely afford the car even if he saves right until then. Look for other sellers and when the...

Saves you from having too many tabs open lol
You'll see a ridiculous amount of markups though, better off negotiating a private. If I see some dealer selling for $50k I can only imagine how little the seller got from them, so if you find someone trying to sell you can do one...
I'm done responding to you after this. Instead of questioning what I'm saying try to actually visualize what I wrote in my step for step. Stop, right there stop. Again, try to understand what I wrote before questioning every little detail. Stop! I already see you trying again.
-My drying method...
drying is not a "visual inspection". The box method inside your house rapidly speeds up the drying, why would anyone rely on drying in humid temps and have to deal with dew and condensation?. If you want to talk humidity come to eastern NC where humidity puts to shame whatever you have in Texas...
If you're spending that much on an older car you should be inspecting it regardless of mods.
Running a compression test will paint a nice picture of the health of the motor.
An oil change and analysis tells you the state of the bearings, rods, and crank.
To me heads and cam aren't really...
This.
When cleaning just spray the outside with a cleaner, properly rinse out by directing water to the inside. Do not directly rinse the outside of the filter.
Then what i do is take a little box, lay it sideways, put the filter in it with the inlet facing out, direct a fan (nothing powerful)...
Ebays return policy allows every buyer to return their product, especially if its defective.
Go to purchase history, and select return item. Ebay might ask a few questions in the process but it takes no more than 60 seconds to start and print a return label.
If you say the plugs are fine I'd start with the turbos being the culprit. Check the drain line from the turbos as well, if the drain is backed up the excess oil will potentially burn up. Make sure the drain is working with gravity and not against it (slanted or hill shaped drain lines)
If too...
If those tires are old, like 5+ years, do not get on the car until you swap them with new tires. I'm sure a handful of accidents are caused by people losing control due to slippery no grip old tires.
Pull the codes from the scanner. Does it have a harder time starting after driving to temp, parking, then trying to start it again after 5+ minutes of it sitting there? If so as another user said, could be head gasket failure.
You can also test compression in each cylinder (rent the tool at...
Just a follow up on my initial response since it was in fact a leak. You can always rent a pressure tester that goes on the radiator, match the pressure of the radiator cap and you can then pinpoint leaks better without having to start the car and risk overheating in the process.
And if the...
Not an owner, just a browser. Have you tried asking windshield replacement companies like safelite? As for the motor if you can't find one have you removed the arm/motor assembly to see if you repair it? Might be an easy fix.
bingo
you could even remove the entire line from the cmc to the slave cylinder and test the pressure to make sure it's properly bled. But The only thing left would be the pressure plate if the clutch line assembly is good.
I would start with the leak first before jumping to the pump. How low is the coolant? Have you tried doing a proper refill with the air temp set to max heat (air or a/c doesn't need to be on) letting the engine get up to temp and cycle the fan and thermostat while keeping an eye on the level and...
Paint strip + sand it + high temp paint, you'll spend under $50
Or find a place that sand blasts and powder coats, you'll spend around $75-$150 for one cover
I would assume with any rod knock that a set of bearings are destroyed and if it occurred during high revs then your crank journal is gouged as well.
May I ask how often:
-you checked your oil levels
-you changed your oil
-what oil you use
and do you ever let oil temps warm up...
