Default mitsubishi evo 4,breathing problem?

i know its not a ford but it is a performance car so i hope somebody might be able to help!i have just been offered an evo 4 with tax and mot for £600,my friend is away to be buying a house and he is really desperate for money.the car has a couple of faults,the most severe being it blows the dipstick out when you thrash it,could it be a problem with the breather system,an o ring on the dipstick,or a terminally knackered engine.and is £600 ridiculously cheap and if worst comes to worst could i break it for more than that?im only buying it to sell on and help a friend out as a cosworth is enough of a worry to keep going!

Sounds like ring lands, common problem on early evo's along with gear box's

Ill take it off his hands as it would be useful for spares. Provided he is open to negotiation that is
