Someone is offering to sell me an Acura Legend 1991. They say it runs good and it has been well-maintained. The only problem is, he found oil in the Coolant fluid..... What would that mean?He said it "Might" be a head gasket... So what would a repair like that cost me?The car is being sold at 1,000. he wanted 1500 for it, but I brought it down.... Should I buy it?its a 1991 Acura Legend, in very good condition.THANKS!

It's an Acura---that's whats wrong. Don't buy it if it's already having problems, oil in your coolant can cause serious problems down the road.

Hi, He is right it could be a blown head gasket, but if it was over-heated it could have cracked the head or the block, i would stay away from this one, Hope that helped, Schultz

It could either be a blown head gasket or a cracked head. The car is 18 years old, it needs to be shot to put it out of it's misery.
