NMNA.  Maybe it doesn't start because of the plug wires.

Well, no wonder it won't start:  the plug wires aren't hooked up!

Unless that has 450,000,000 miles and lots of hidden rust, that's a crazy good deal!

Two roads here:

1. point it out to the seller

2. do NOT point it out to the seller, purchase it, and hope that was the only problem

In reply to Spearfishin :

I'm going with a smart seller.  "Dude I just want it gone, you can work on it after you hand me cash.  Please don't look at the hole in the oil pan."

I kind of imagined it was a case of the truck being so berkeleyed up, he decided he wasn't going to do a single thing more; just take the pictures and put it on marketplace.

Well now I'm mentally invested. Is there anyone local enough to at least go figure out the story, haha?
