Considering a C30 but there's warning lights on dashboard
Hi
I'm considering a C30 with 50k miles but the dealer isn't fussed about clearing warning codes. The one they sent me image of is anti-skid service required. There's one more evident in the ad that says alarm system service required. The dealer is few hours away from me so not feasible to go and check if there are more codes. The car had one owner and FSH, which is what makes me think it might be worth the risk, but at the same time I don't want to buy a car with problems that will turn out to drag on and cost me arm and leg. From an owner perspective, what is your advice on buying this "sold as is" car for almost 3k and did you have similar issues and how expensive are they to fix? Thanks

Sounds like the sort of dealer that also wouldn't honor any warranty repairs that are needed. The dealer *probably* knows full well what is wrong with it, and if it was a cheap and easy fix, would already have repaired it ready for sale.
