Thanks for the replies Guys, I feel much better about doing a cold compression test now to get an overall idea of the engine condition.

It's a late 80's looper V6 that's been sitting for 6-7 years, which I understand isn't great for the engine (but it keeps the hours low...). Trying to find out if it was winterized before it was stored as I'm not sure it's worth checking into if it wasn't. Price is decent, but without a sea trial, which isn't possible in this case, it feels kind of like buying blind....
