Lanse, with all due respect, there really isn't any way to tell until you start working on it. As others have said, it could be something quite simple or something very expensive. The first questions to ask are: 1: how long has it been down? 2: why was it parked or towed to where it is? 3: can you trust the answers? 4: if it's something simple, why hasn't the owner fixed it/had it fixed, so he can get a much better price for a running unit? 5: if you buy it not running, and it turns out to be something major (there's the trans and diff to consider) how many $$$ will you lose?? None of which means it might not be a good buy, or that the seller won't be 100% truthful; it's just that it's better to be safe than sorry.
