I would only buy it if she still had the euro power plant. However, for $1500 I would be looking for a V-8 myself though.

If she checks out flash 8 crisp bings in the guys face and see if he bites. He will come back with some crap about how he needs to get his money back from the trade-in, but that is not always true. They probablly made the money back on the trade when they sold the new car to the guy. He counters for 1k, you pick up the cash and walk. Then I bet she sells.
