Hmm my heat did not work it was because of the radiator. I would ask a mechanic how much it would cost to do those repairs before you buy.

If you do your own repairs and can extract a significant discount for the inop blower, it might be a good deal. I would discount at least $1000 for blower problem and $200 for O2 sensor replacement.

good luck
