i went to check out a 91 MR2 N/A today and the car was extremley clean inside and out. the only problem was when it started white smoke came out of the exhaust for about 20-30 seconds, and the coolant was a bit low. someone told me it was a blown head gasket, but i called up the dealer again and he told me that the car is old and since it hasnt been run for 10 days a little bit of oil leaks down and it happens on all toyotas. the car has 135k miles on it, and he was selling it for 4k. any advice?

what color was the smoke?

it was white

at least it isnt blue.. isnt blue like the worst sign? Sounds like an awesome car.. got any pics?

ii dont have any pictures but it was at a small dealership. the car looked completley brand new so im really hoping its fine.

if it was white it was either water sitting in the exhaust system or a blown head gasket. Drive it around, if there's STILL white smoke blowing out after 5 or 10 minutes then leave and never come back.
