So I drove 2 1/5 hours to find out it wasn't anything like described. The main seal was leaking, a knocking noise under the motor, ticking noise on the the top of the motor, leak from the radiator, radiator had not been replaced, the turn signal had issues and the brakes had issues. I won't bother describing the cosmetic issues.
The ignition issue was when the motor is cold, it cranks 4-5 seconds before it starts. Once its warm, it starts right up.
I went and looked at another one while I was down there. Really nice 2002 with low miles but the control arm was wobbled out, and it overheated while I was looking at it. Came home empty handed. Oh well, I just keep looking.
That blows! nothing worse than wasting your time. Sorry that you were dealing with a shady seller.
