by general engine knowledge sound like you might have a rod-knock bu then again, I never took apart a 1.8... I would have a someone with a little knowledge on the 1.8 engine check it out before you buy it, you might end up dumping a lot of cash into it just to get that repaired... As far as your engine doing 3K RPM at 70MPH that's normal on these cars, my '04 with 6 speed does 3K RPM at 80MPH. 14 hundred bucks seems rather cheap, hope you're not buyin a lemon and end up completely dissapointed, just remember you get what you pay for.
