    not true. the 4g63's are awesome engines. especially since its only a gs so its non turbo and will be reliable. do you know how many miles are on it? if it has high milage there will most likely be a lifter tick as most 4g63's have but its really nothing to worry about. and if its not the 4g then its a 1.8 which is even more reliable. so i would say if its a good price tell your buddy to go for it.
