yes...but "the front fuel"? take it to a garage, have the tank drained and put new fuel with a can of HEET to remove any latent moisture~...it should start if your seller is telling the truth...have him pony the mechanic bill up~

Anything is possible. It is a ten year old car and buying it is taking a gamble. I agree with the Judge it take it to a mechanic for a diagnosis before buying. You don't know what is wrong but chances are good that it's not because something got wet. Cars get wet all the time when it rains.
