What about this 83 240D?

I am thinking about going to take a look at this 83 manual 240D. The add says that the "engine runs but car is not drivable due to a knock in the fourth cylinder (cylinder closest to firewall)." What do you all think about this? Give me some feedback on this one - go have a look? don't bother making the 45 minute drive? drive in the opposite direction as fast as you can?

What is the likely problem?

Thanks,

Mark
