I am thinking of going to look at a 2000 9-5 with 120k on it. The body and interior look good from the photos. Guy says someone traded it in on a car at his lot. He says the oil and water have mixed. Will crank but not start. I am a fairly good mechanic, done headgaskets on Taurus before and changed sprocket on crankshaft on a 9000 I had and had to line up the cams and chain on that one. I know that I will have to buy the kit to do the timing belt and the water pump. Just wondering what the car is worth as is. He's asking $1300, which I think is too much. Also, any suggestions or things to watch out for along the way? I know the oil cooler will probably need to be replaced, just as a caution. Should most any machine shop be able to work on the heads? (and are they aluminum? can't remember). Thanks for any and all info.
