Yeah, because this car would absolutely demolish your budget, I can promise you that. Just a new diff alone is $2700, if the unit is bad, and we can go from there...

I agree. This is a bad deal, especially since it is not close.

Rereading this, i would be more concerned with front main seal leaks then the differential issue listed. Diff was inspected and likely fine. But engine leak coupled with low oil previously and i would look for a different ride.

Yeah, coupled with low antifreeze? Seriously.

Every used car has unknown problems.
This one has [had] several known problems as well.
Why take the chance?
There are too many fish in the sea.
