Walk away ,buy or run like he(( from this purchase

This Story has alot of twist so Ill start from the facts Ive learned from abit of an untruthful beginning.A local add was placed for a 1982 300d for sale ,add reads motor good ,trannie good ,Tires new ,low mileage. An hr and 20 min.drive out and I cant find but only 2 facts right about the car and that is the tires are good and the possible low mileage might be correct .Interior was shot ,motor has 2 freeze plugs out of the block ,frt end collision has the oil and collant leaking .The add did give some parts needed ,tlc ,but with a non running motor you cant value the motor then the trans. The real twist is I believe the low mileage detail is correct and was torn If I should return to give it a chance start.It will turn over but I feel the lack of fuel in the tank to be the issue ,the primer pump feeling flat .I can fix the freeze plugs temporary and try to pull it out of slumber then get a better accessment but the real pressure is the guy has a time limit ,hate those,feels like its possibly the right car but wrong seller ,if you know what I mean.I do like a challenge ,this one would look nice with a rare metal flake blue exterior in good shape .
