I was giving someone a ride to work when I worked for ING out in West Chester. It would take him 2 hours to get there so I was nice and offered. However, after two weeks he was always showing up late so I stopped.

Unfortunately desperate sellers will resort to all kinds of stupid things, like using stuff like StopLeak and fuel additives or whatever else they can come up with to temporily fix a problem.
If the person tells you something like, sorry but it hasn't been started in a while, and it runs and starts good, then there is a good chance that he is honest and it is a good running car that just has a few quirks now and then.
See if it smokes or stalls in all the different gears, and see if there is any uneven wear on the tires.

Wow. I like that site. I've never been there before. I just searched for CRX within 500 miles and I got a bunch of them, under 1000. How far would you travel to get a car? I found a CRX 300 miles from me for 500 with 230*** miles but another about 500 miles from me for 995 with 130***. I think I might have to try to take a look at the cheaper one.

I bought a pos from a guy for my ex once. The car was running when we looked at it... and when we picked it up. The car had to be jumped every time we needed to start it. :squint:
When I sold it, when the guy came to pick it up, it was running. :reechy:
