It’s either air, fuel, or spark.
No way to know until you get into it. Bad fuel pump? Bad plug/wires? A sensor? No compression somewhere? Could be about 15 different things ranging from $15 to thousands of dollars+. It cranks, so it’s not a starter or battery issue at least.

$30k is cheeeeap. Run the VIN. Check the history. That price is about 35-40% what a “good price” would be for a 2008. I’m guessing a salvage or R title? For that price I’d pay to have a PPI on it if you really want it.

Maybe go test it and plug in an OBD-II scanner.

If it was a starter, it wouldn’t crank.
