need some help

First off i am not a car geniuse so here goes my stupid question. I called a guy about 1989 supra he has for sell and he tells me the motor is blown. But get this he said he noticed it would drip oil every now and then and a couple of weeks ago it locked up on him. The funny thing about what he is telling is that it never overheated and that the engine will still run. He just says that the car will not move.

I went and looked at the exterior of the car this afternoon and it is in immaculate shape. No rust anywhere and only a few scratches. I'd greatly appreciate any advice on what the problem could be and how much it might cost to fix. He only wants $975 for it so I can afford to spend more to fix it.

Thanks
