Like i said in the other thread, he doesn't state mileage. A major tune up is not gonna be cheap.

It's a $1000 car tops, and that's assuming clean title/carfax/etc and no rust issues. Looks like a hooptie to me. Don't bother

Just me but if I read an add that says "runs strong" and in the same ad it says "needs tune-up" id run and it does look like a pile as stated about.

To the op not to be an ass, but I typically run away from threads where the title is abbreviated and spelled with mixed caps/lowercase letters. No doubt you are seriously seeking an honest answer, but in the tech area you will likely see more helpful responses if you take the time to actually type out your headings and questions.
