Looks cool, but the engine rebuilt on that would probably cost as much as the car at its current price ($16k). Though would that even need a rebuild? Maybe, I'm no car expert. That said, at 53k, even for a Ferrari, isn't that a sign the engine probably wasn't the most taken care of? Its 18 years, but never heard of a car with 53k miles needing a rebuild.

A cylinder losing compression is a definite issue. I spose some hack-ish type would repair that if all the rest are fine and stuff seeems "ok", throwing rings on that cylinder and honing it.
Typically, if you're going in to fix that, you do it a bit better. Minimally, you'd get the block cleaned and honed (only 53k hope it wouldn't need bored) and re-ring and bearing it. I'd call that pretty much minimal service on that car.

Maybe he put it in first gear going 200 (mph or km/h doesn't matter) or something
I did that once going 70 km/h accidentally putting it in first and the engine wasn't happy. I Didn't blow it luckily but it won't have done any good either.
