I still don't trust it. Call me crazy, previously burned (you all know my E46 M3 story) or just well educated from being in the business. Dealerships don't just give away cars cheap. If this was a $10k example or even needed just a couple of small things it would be priced accordingly, at least initially - I realize the miles are high but that should still be a $5-7k car. This low price is indicative of something being blatantly wrong up front and them not wanting to address it so the price is set where it is.
I'll bet it's a bad trans or lots of paintwork. No photos is pretty suspect.

This car has been listed on craigslist twice already this summer. The first ad was posted as a woman needing something more reliable to haul her kids around, and now it's being listed by someone claiming to have "been working on cooling system and all.."
If I had the room I'd consider buying it to part out, but there's no way this car doesn't need a new motor.
The current owner bought it less than 6 months ago, has done "cooling system work", and is now selling for $3k. If that work was successful, he would have either kept the car or priced it higher.
My guess: the car was bought to flip for a few bucks after a cooling system overhaul, but the owner found out the head is warped and the threads in the block have stripped and is trying to cut his losses. Just an educated guess, but it's a little too far (~2.5 hours) for me to go check out.
Either way, I wanted to update this thread so that anyone who saw the craigslist ad knew this car has already been sold at least once this year.
