You should also ask him how long its been sitting there with coolant in the oil (most likely) or if the oil has been changed, no point in buying a cheap car only to have to rebuild the engine entirely.

Yeah, highly doubtful on the whole head gasket thing. Most people just assume anything is a head gasket if they don't know anything about engines.
I would say check it and grab it. If its nothing serious then they don't know what they have.
