Located this one, it's for sale by a local Washington guy.
He "doesn't know cars", and apparently has had difficulty finding a competent mechanic. I drove it on Saturday and found the following:
Definitely has an oil leak.
Failed emissions last time.
Feels like it has a boost leak.
Water is getting in to the trunk, so bad seal somewhere.
Water is also apparently getting in to the driver's footwell.
A/C doesn’t work.
Engine seems "rough". Thinking it could be as simple as bad plugs/wires, or something a lot more serious.
It's a series of things that could be either simple/cheap maintenance items, or could be something seriously wrong. Either way, I'm pretty sure it's not worth $4000 in it's condition.
Trying to decide if I should go forward with an inspection, or if I should just keep looking.
