Help?
So I am looking into buying a ES300, but the only problem that I'm worried about it is the buyer mention the car is smoking due to a broken click on the injectors which is causing the car to run rich. My question is how much is it gonna cost to fix it or can I even drive like that? Thanks in advance.

I say look elsewhere. Especially in your state, you have lots of choices.

Broken Click? is that a tech word?
Running Rich, well will lead to bunch of problems O2 Sensors, worse yet Cat Replacement.
I bet he has a blown head gasket.
Move on Brother, I think he is telling you half truths.

Well, I would try to figure out what the heck is a CLICK. If I read you correctly, he is saying one of the injectors is not connected or the the connector is broken. I would try to temporarily connect the injector and see if the smoke clears ( i bet it doesn't).
If the injector is not working the car should idle horribly too and pull miss fire codes on the CEL. Bring a OBD reader and verify.
My 2 cents. I hate for you to miss a DEAL but if you have to dump 2-3 times more money into it then you bought it....well.
