Depends on what you want to buy the car for I guess. If you're looking for a project car to work on yourself, then maybe this is the one. If you're looking for a daily driver you don't have much money to invest in, I'd run away. My wagon was originally purchased for $100. It was pretty rough. Between my friend owning it then selling it to me, together we have invested a good $4000 into it I bet. The self-leveling suspension is cool but expensive to fix. I don't know man, this car you found sounds like it needs a lot. If it's leaking a lot of oil, I question how often it ran while low on oil. Too questionable for me.
