Run don't walk, RUN away from that car. Cheap entry price with these typically equals to much more money to get it to a good place mechanically.

It's the transmission. It may be just low on fluid, but no matter what the cause, you either need a lot of experience to evaluate a jag, or hire an expert for a PPI. A couple of hundred dollars upfront can save thousands.
