2 cylinder has serious issues; failed on the interstate. No compression on #2. Timing belt appears good. Spark plug indicates contact with valve of piston.
He is asking $1500.
PM me with any interest and I'll forward it along.

Timing belt looks good, but #2 cylinder has serious issues. No compression and the #2 spark plug has damage, like impact damage.

Can I ask a REALLY stupid question?
Is it me??
I spoke with the seller and was trying to make arrangements to pick it up, but they weren't coming together. I assumed he gave up on me. I am hoping he wasn't counting on me.
Do I need to follow up with him??
I bought it. Should be a great car - seller was easy to work with and very forthcoming. Can't wait to have it sitting in the driveway.
