has the tranny been serviced its a weak spot on these the car should always be ran on most turbo gasoline engines require it if i were you i would have a pro look at it before you pay k on a car with k miles on it its a nice car but you have to remember something the type of person that buys the performance model usually like to use it to its potential that means a lot of pedal smashing banging gears hard turns so forth and so on i hope the car is in great shape and everything works out just remember if it sounds to good to be true
