From very little to everything. How did water get into it

edit: why would you possible buy a car that doesn't run if you don't know how to fix it?

??????? -- So you bought a car with water in the motor that someone drove until it died??? Water would had have to entered thru the intake (large amount) or a bad seal (small amount). Is this a joke??!?!?!

Again, why would you buy a car that was damage due to water in the engine? How much did you pay for it??? And... why?

sounds like it's time for anew engine if it sucked in water and he drove it until it died . I hope you got a good deal on it.

That'd be a good car to buy if your intentions were to swap in an H22.
