Im looking to buy a used car from a small lot, 1997 Nissan maxima SE it has 209,000 miles. Drives fast and smooth, but the ABS light remains lit while driving, the alarm pad is missing and the trunk latch is broken. Are theses costly repairs? Overall this vehicle seems in good shape , normal wear and tear but how do you tell if a sunroof is going to leak? They arent really willing for me to take it to an outside mechanic which makes me feel uneasy.

Thanks

IF YOU WILL NOTICE HOW QUICKLY SHE ABANDONED HER BOYS AND JUMPED RIGHT IN WITH THE "AWESOME JEEP GUY"......SHE WAS JUST SORTA A "BLUR" (LOOK AGAIN!)
