Buyer beware. I don't know what failed exactly, but this could be one of two cases... 1- the seller knew about it and sold it anyway, or 2- it was going to happen anyway, and nobody was able to tell it was going to happen. In that case, you can't blame the seller, especially if he's not mechanically inclined. Assuming USD, it's probably a $1,000 car at the most for a non-runner. Depending on condition, of course. In running condition, it would of course be worth more, but it's still probably only a $5k car.
