Should I buy this non-running Fusion?

Private Party 2007 Ford Fusion SE with 204,800 miles.

I am looking into one on Facebook Marketplace. It currently needs brake pads, tires, and a water pump pulley. It currently has everything it needs to run. I just have to put the belt on and test drive it. I know how to put belts on so would it be worth checking into getting and test driving? I had an 06 same model just one year older and it had 246k miles and ran fine.

they are paying YOU to take it, right?


Yeah, this one sounds like it has negative equity. I’d put it on a flatbed and send it to Mexico.


Yeah.
If you're handy, then a little bit of negative equity is still okay as long as you get a decent running car at the end that lasts at least a year. But this thing sounds like it'll put you in a permanent deep hole that you'll never recover from.
