How much are they asking? You never mentioned the condition of the interior, A/C, Power steering, braking system, electrical system, etc. I would consider the engine a throw-away given the lack of attention the vehicle got (5 years, same oil?). Buy it cheap, flush the cooling system and replace the engine, then enjoy a nice Westy, given nothing else is bad. Just my 2 groszy.
