Any insight on looking into this issue described by the owner? I am like 1,000 miles away but the car is nice color and nice condition in & out. Haven't talked to the owner

"HAS 234 K MILES
CAR HAS NOT BEEN USED IN 8 MONTHS BECAUSE OF A HEAD GASKET PROBLEM.. YOU WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE HEAD GASKET TO USE IT.. IF YOU CAN FIX IT YOURSELF ITS A BIG PLUS.. I'VE OWNED IT FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS AND IT'S A GREAT CAR. .....THIS HAPPENED WHEN I STARTED IT ONE DAY AND STARTED SMOKING INTENSELY.. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE HEAD GASKET SO I NEVER USED IT SINCE....." unquote..

"..I'll take a simple "C" to "G" and feel brand new about it..."

Should make the price right and it very well might be just the head gasket on that models engine.

Can you find out what color smoke and is it using coolant or oil?
