The bad...

I looked at the car today and I guess it was what you could expect for $200. The owner got a bad batch of fuel with water in it and never got it to run right afterward so he parked it. It stayed parked for 5 years. So now the car won't turn over, owner thinks the starter went bad. It has a good body (no rust) and interior (vinyl, not crushed velour) but the paint is shot (severely sun baked) and it looks like the rear of the car was hit bad since it looks like it has the rear end of another car because white paint was showing through the blue paint only on the rear section behind the rear doors. I has the 4.3L V6 diesel with 128K miles. I'm sure it's a rare car but it's too bad that it's in the shape that it's in.
It was not a very loved car, it has had three previous owners before the current one.
Needless to say I passed on this thing. I must not be completely nuts after all.
