    Either he or his mechanic don't know what they're talking about. Has either one ever heard of a compression test? If the seller is being evasive, the vehicle was overheated. Which, depending on severity, would mean replacing the head gasket or the cylinder head, in an extreme overheat session.
    Nevertheless, for $200, I'd go for it. It's only a four-banger. Which should be easy to work on. Who knows? Maybe, it'll run just fine, after having replaced the radiator

    High point of these little Buick Limiteds was the interior. You would think they would show a pic........

    Hard to get nice images of those remaining. His interior is likely inferior:
