Run Forest run! If you're in any way unsure leave it. Can you somehow extend the 6 days to give you time to look at more cars in a more informed manner?
If someone tells you about something they've "fixed" or paid for there's probably something else they're not going to tell you. What electrical component was replaced? ECU, EGR, ABS, low oil, service missed and more could all pop up a flashing light.
Keep looking and if anybody claims to have spent any money on a car ask for proof, receipts, service book, MOTs, old tax discs etc . Plenty of honest cars around but you have to be diligent and prepared to walk (or run) away. Do you have a friend or a friend of a friend who you can trust and is savvy about used cars to spot a good or bad one for the price of a pint or two?
