Default Help with buying a forester! Not running.

Hi, just needing some help/advise on this forester I'm thinking of getting for 2-2.5k (worth the effort)?

Basically it's a 99 gx auto 290000 kms, apparently it had a cracked radiator and hose which caused it to heat up. So they replaced that along with thermostat, flushed radiator. But it still overheats.

It's been sitting 2weeks now and I came to inspect it today and we couldn't get it started, battery is fine got fuel but engine won't turn over.(fuel pump issues?

Have checked oil and coolant isnt milky. But after attempting to start it there is a lot of pressure in the radiator and bit of steam coming out of it when I opened it and bit of Gregish smoke in exhaust.

Sorry if it's a bit long but thanks in advance for your helping.
