Pass. Body looks terrible, If he can't drive it anymore with his blown head gasket it's cuz he litteraly blowed the S**t out of it. Tranny is probably abused as well.
I got my 98 2.5 tl for 100$, Blown head gasket but very minor, came from overheating due to radiator failure. Radiator was changed to new, So was the exhaust for the most part. Car still runs B+. I'm planning on rolling it till engine fails me completely then just Swap out the whole engine for ~ 1000$.
I'd say inspect the car first, then deal him down. If there's no oil in the radiator, no white smoke coming out of the exhaust and no crazy overheating, its probably a minor leak in the gasket, between cylinders.
If its overheating, smoking and the prestone looks brownish, Offer him 100$ and swap the engine straight away. That's if the body and interior is in good shape. If not, just pass.
