compression test : should I be worried ?

That is not normal no.

It would appear cylinder 4 has a broken piston or damaged rings.

It could also be a headgasket failure close to cylinder 4 or leaking valves.

Hmm

Not a good news then... As I dont know much about cars, would you advise me to stay away from it ? Or should I try to know how much fixing such a problem would cost and bargain the price ? (currently, it's around CAN$4000).

Thanks.
