damnit low compression!

well i just got another maxima for my dealership from the auction had misfire written on windshield..

its a 2000 GLE, Loaded.. new tires white with gold package 133k on her... $3800...

anyways i get it home and am like ok plug time so i pop the hood and start looking lo and behold they have compression numbers written really little on the intake and head (only 4 numbers mind you) 120 -125 - 125 - 75 (back cylinder) so im like ahh **** and the they have been runnning 15/40 in the owners manual... so i put some compression seal in it which helped quiet a bit but still has a slight stutter when rolling in idle.. giving it gas its 100%

any recommendations what todo here?
