I emailed the seller - this is what they had to say:
"I noticed some froth in the oil which is what alerted me to the head gasket issue. I took it to the local Mechanic who gave me the bad news. I immediately quit driving it."
Is it possible that the problem is really the intake gasket and not the head gasket? Do you think the motor is OK even though there was coolant in the oil? I'd suspect that if it isn't knocking it'll be alright.
I think I could tackle the intake gaskets myself with the help of a friend, but the head gasket seems more difficult and not sure if me and my buddy could deal with that ourselves.
Finally, what is a reasonable offer on the vehicle? I think $1200 is too high - maybe $1000?
