If I were u I probably won't buy it.

Agreed.. Walk away. I've driven my car (04 TL) with 87 octane, and really feel no real significant difference other than a slight decrease in power. Unless he has messed with the ECU, it should be able to compensate for lower octane and cut back timing enought for the car not to dentonate. I'm sure the low octane gas doesnt help, but I would guess there is something else going on there and a tank of premuim isn't the fix.
