...was on? i test drove a car and the srs and check engine light was on the dealer said that the people who changed the oil and cleaned the seats forgot to reset them what do you think i am worried the car has problems would you pay 8,000?

No way do not buy the car. If it is only 6 years old & has that many miles on it it's not worth $8,000, & you should definitely verify what the dealer tells you by taking the car to a mechanic & getting it checked out.

I would imagine that the problems are minor, those are very durable cars, but I would still have it knocked down to $4,000, because what the dealer said was a lie...

They are lieing of course. The Check engine light comes on from the computer that says there is a major issue with the car engine. Do not get the car. Be careful, they can reset the computer and clear the light and it will come on after 2 - 300 miles later.

is the car's engine moded, if it was the check engine light will stay on.

i doubt they forgot....that will drop the value of a car alot....they prolly reset it and it came back on and didnt want to fix it.....so dont let their problem become yours

Do not buy this car. There is a problem with the car and the salesman is not being honest with you. Walk away or have your mechanic check it out. I would walk.

My SRS light came in, at around the same mileage. I still have the SRS sign, over and above the check engine sign (since, 180K miles) at 249K highway mileage. Car still works great ! !The SRS sign was fixed by the dealer once, but came on again and I never bothered to go back as, I believe the OPDS sensor is malfunctioning. The check engine sign usually is associated with the gas cap not being tightened properly, but if it stays long, it could be a Air Sensor problem. Ensure that the exhaust manifold/convertor is ok. If not, it would take approx $1500 to fix it.
