  Question: 
  You say here that it reads a mis-fire on cylinders 
  5,6,8.....did you miss the 7 or is it really missing on those 3 and not on all 
  4, these cars have been known to have issues with the camshaft that will 
  typically kill 4 cylinders not just 3. Does it run, idle, and drive ok ? Just 
  want to be sure about the issues before I get in too deep on the bidding.
   
   
  Response: 
  It is really missing on those three. Had a new camshaft put 
  in, think it might have been put in wrong. I think it may have a bent valve 
  and it will not crank. 
 
   
  Um....yeah, ok.  
   
  So it doesn't run and they failed to 
  mention that in the listing......glad I didn't bid any higher.

  Someone else got this response from them today......
   
  "It was not making any abnormal noises. tried to start it for 
  someone and it 
  would not crank. Backfired and wouldn't turn over anymore."
  
   
  If this was after the previously mentioned cam 
  replacement, it sounds to me like it could be a double failure car......

I had also emailed the seller about maybe misfiring on all four coils.  
Heres the response I got:
"It was not making any abnormal noises. tried to start it for someone and it 
would not crank. Backfired and wouldn't turn over anymore."
I spend way to much time on eBay!
