He wants full deposit before a test drive. Sounds as if you break anything you bought the car.

The whole you break it, you bought it rule does apply.
I wonder how well that holds up, legally speaking...

The only reason it is so cheap is because it is parked at a friends house, and he has been told by the city to lose some vehicles..... I would much rather keep it... but..... you know...... I will also entertain trades
If you've got to lose some vehicles, why would you entertain trades?

Sounds fishy... It's probably been neglected/abused considering the condition that it is in regarding the transmission, pricing, etc. Sad.

if he gets something that runs, he can park it at his house instead of his friends house.

he says the car doesnt run, says he is selling it cheap, do you think he believes it is a cream puff?

that car is pretty far from the mountains. Having lived in the northeast with the salt air etc., i wouldnt jump to the conclusion that the location of the car, and the local roads had anything do do with it becoming a pile.

Ask him to test drive it with you in the car

Breaks then whoops... shouldnt have trashed it when you had it
