Walk away. Not worth the risk.

To be honest, the seller is having an urgent sell due to moving interstate, and the final price will be 7500 dollar. The value of the car is worth more than 10k with a 230000++ mileage on it. If I fix it after I buy, it's still a good deal for me. But I have no idea what's the problem with the engine, therefore I have no idea if its a good buy.
I am now having a road trip to Monkey Mia with my friends until this coming Friday, and I had agree with the seller that I will pay him the full amount on Friday, if not the deposit will be taken by him. I believe I have no time to bring a mechanic to the place due to the limitation of time. Sigh...
Walk away and you have effectively fined yourself $50 for being too keen.Sounds like money well spent to me.(the fine not the car)

Thank you guys. I really really appreciate the reply and advice that you all gave. I will most probably bring a mechanic on this Friday to hve a look with the issues. And I will definitely walk away if it's a major one. 50 dollar is definitely a fine for me for not checking it properly.
I really love WRX so much, and I will definitely buy a better one! If there is anyone selling, do PM me as well hahaha

Can't the seller take it to a workshop for a diagnosis or can you not organise a mobile mechanic like Jim @ Bluestar to go around and look at it while you are away?

That's what I'd be doing first.

Yes. I asked the guy to go all star garage this afternoon. Tomorrow I will call them up and see what they say. Luckily I could manage to ask the seller drive to all star and have a quick check.
