Default Need opinion and things to look out for

Che kin out buying a 85 diesel jetta here's the ad: any and all opinions please!

85 5 speed diesel VW Jetta deluxe runs well, but has blown head gasket. Got 40+ mpg before I blew the head gasket. Body good, interior good, but headliner needs some work. Installed rebuilt injection pump and new timing belt last summer. Door and trunk gaskets probably need to be replaced. No a/c, but have access to one and other misc spare parts if interested. Also Bently Book. Take it all for $750.

Anyone have an opinion if this seems like a good deal at least?!?

No one has ANYTHING to say...

It doesn't sound like too bad of a deal as long as he didn't cook it when the gasket blew. If he really overheated it bad the head will be warp and it will be cheaper to drop $600 for a new one than to try to fix the warped one.
