Looking to pick up a 95 240 today for $900. The guy says the motor is blown due to "being starved of oil". He says the car will start and run, and is drive-able but when you shift to third the engine starts to knock badly. Does anyone have any ideas about this or any advice? I'm buying the car regardless but want to know if I should even waste my time tearing down the motor.

By the way, looks like the engine could have been starved due to a blown head gasket, there's a lot of oil residue from the head all the way down.
