This is the original post, which has now been deleted. The car was for sale for $14K, and in the ad it specifically said "Car has low compression in cylinder #6, and definitely needs a valve job" I also talked to the original owner who said he made it very clear about the cars issues to the buyer, saying it uses 1 quart of oil per 1000 miles and probably needs a rebuild, and thats why he sold it for so cheap.

"This car is an excellent running/driving car."
When I talked to him, he said he didnt do a PPI, but had the car brought up to CA, and then changed his mind. He said he driven the car a total of 3 miles. He also said he bought the car a month or two ago, but then later changed that story when I pointed out the ad was only posted two weeks ago. He also said the original owner never said anything about the engine other than "it burned a little oil". He said the engine was in excellent shape, but did say he would take it to a shop for me to have checked out.
So basically, he bought a car that was represented as having an engine that needs work for $14K or less, brought it up to CA, and now is selling it as a excellent engine for $18K. That to me does not sit right. It would be one thing to make money off of someone thats selling something for cheaper than they know its worth, but to change your advertisement to represent it as something thats good - thats just wrong, and I believe in our community we owe it other members to call that out when we see it. This forum is to help each other out, not to make money off of someone that trusts another member's word.
Again I have not seen the engine so I don't really know its condition, Im just putting the info out there so anyone else can be wary. I really hope someone doesnt get burned on this, because its happened to me and I know how much that sucks.
