So i went to go check out a 6ga 5 speed fully loaded , its perfect but the only thing is that It is pinging off the rev limiter at 4000 rpm. everything is fine untill 4000 rpm, then it goes into jerky mode .
Check engine light was on, maintaince light was on , the oil on the car was dark black

What can the problem be? Should i get the car with this issue or should i just pass?

I'm counting a negative 4 here, what part about this seems like it could be good? Clearly the current owner has given not one ****... The pair this person must have to try to sell a car without even trying to change to oil or reset the CEL. You'll have so many problems with this car later on, I promise you.

May I ask what they are asking for a price, whatever it is offer them no more than 60% given those circumstances.
