[QUOTE="OutKast, post: 7331287, member: 42482"] So I went to look at a CSVT, 1998, 105k miles. I took it out for a spin. Did not drive that well. ABS light was on and brakes pulsed when I was braking. After about a mile of driving, car would stall when I pushed in the clutch and came to a stop. However it seemed to idle fine before I drove it. The air filter was very dirty, so I don't know how much that came into play. Also, the clutch engaged very high in the pedal but grabbed really hard. WOT in 3rd and 4th seemed to lack power, but I don't have anything to base that against. The thing that worries me most is that the dealer has decided to sell the car as-is. They told me the owner just decided not to try and fix it. They are asking 3250, but will come down some. There is also a warranty I can buy extra for it for 425, 1yr unlimited miles. Based on the above, is it worth buying, or is this car too far gone? Any info would be greatly appriciated. [/QUOTE]
