Need your Opinion - engine is seized
I am interested in purchasing a 1995 Lexus LS400 for $1100 from a lady on Craigslist. The engine is seized and she has another used engine for it that has 147,000 miles on it that’s part of the $1100 price. It’s one owner and got all its regularly maintancene until the engine went so she says. She has paperwork she says with all maintence done. The pictures she posted online of the car look good from what I see no dents, the interior has no rips paint looks good. My question to you guys is that a good deal? And what should I look for when inspecting the car?

Sounds bit fishy. She's the registered owner? If not then walk. Maybe a front for her hubby or BF that bought this as a project-salvage car, and isn't registered under their name. They found a motor then discovered there was much more wrong and are dumping it. If you are handy, don't mind the project along with having space, then negotiate something.
Can you share the CL link so that we can see the ad?

I'd say more like $300. I bet they just really want the car out of their backyard/driveway/empty lot.
