Weird request, but the car is super cheap and I can't get over there for a few days. I need this in my life.

You may want to reconsider. Sure the car is $500, but it's also purple. I've got nothing to offer, I live in Houston.
All joking aside, that's a steal.
Nothing spray cans won't fix. I just want to make sure it's not sitting in a pool of its own fluids and that the rear subframe hasn't rusted to bits.
it has 229k on it so it also likely needs head gaskets
Will be there in a few weeks if it's still available in June...

I'll roll the dice for $500! Plus, I may or may not have a line on an EJ20K to fill the void.
You don't need a $550 Subaru looked at. You just go buy it. You can part it out and make $1000 even if its a Total POS.

Not likely - by 229K they have been done and if they were done right won't need to be done again.
Adrian can do this on his way home from work. It's right on the way!
Are you going to name the car Prince?

This. For that money, you basically can't go wrong.
Having said that, if I were closer, I'd look at it for you, but I hardly ever get down to Detroit.
I work in the city. I wouldn't go look at that car without backup. Bring two helpers, one to watch your car, one to watch your back. I'm pretty serious.
I'll do it Thursday. It's Detroit, not Fallujah.
In reply to chaparral:
You have a PM.
My problem is that I can't get anyone to go with me/take me over there to snag the car until the weekend. Hell, I'd be willing to pay one of you to buy it for me!
Yeah, but it's the fallujah part of detroit
Update:
That part of Detroit is nowhere near as bad as where I lived when I was little or went to college.
AcmeLabRat didn't end up buying the car. The body is shot - rust on every fender, sills rusty, rear bumper and tailgate took a hit. Mechanicals and electricals are good. It'd make a good LeMons car. It would make an unfair demolition derby car.
