[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1840623, member: 42463"] I'd buy it as long as it starts and runs good. I've bought a lot of vehicles that have sat for years and as long as they run good when started they have been just fine. I even bought one that had knocking/collapsed lifters(?) and ran it with the idea that I'd be replacing the engine anyway... so why not run it until it blew up? It had congealed oil/sludge in it. I don't believe the oil had ever been changed. Put a quart of ATF in the crankcase and changed the oil in 500 miles and the noise was less. Did it a couple more times and the engine was quiet. Ran that truck for two years and the engine was fine during that time. Sold it for a grand more than I paid for it. The point being... if it runs good when you buy it it will probably be fine. But change the oil. It's time. [/QUOTE]
