Im thinkin about buying a 96 gst for a dd. The guy said he was driving down the road and the oil press light came on and started pulling over and the car shut off and made a screach noise. Said it will crank but won't start. Heard no knocking noises. Said an oil line busted. The engine was rebuilt recently and a 6 bolt head installed. The car looks to be in good shape and he is asking $1900 for it. What you guys think? I'm a ford tech and can do the work myself. Trying to get an idea of what could be wrong. I was thinking turbo oil supply blew and locked turbo up causing no start??
 
Why did you make another thread when your question was answered in the first one you made.. which was the exact same?

EDIT: And you think the car won't start because the turbo is "locked up"? They don't teach you much about turbochargers at the Ford dealership do they?
