My bet is that one or both headgaskets are gone, the oil was changed so you don't see foamed oil, but the coolant was not changed. if you can do a headgasket, it may worth a purchase and a coolant flush to see if your theory is correct about someone topping off the coolant tank with oil, but you probably have some work ahead of you. For $6,300 you could buy a lot of other cars, so hold out for a price that lets you fix it. Sounds like a play if you like the car.
