Cant push-start car (engine will not turn over) 850 1993

It's always a BIG roll of the dice buying a car that doesn't run. The car WAS probably running two weeks ago BEFORE the timing belt broke. I wouldn't be surprised if you find the starter deliberately dissabled so that you couldn't detect this problem before you bought the car. The PO's seem like not very ethical people so you've probably lost your $400. Don't ask why I know but it's a really good idea to manually turn over an engine in cars like this before you lay down your money. Put it on e-bay and see what you can get but be up front about it.
