Default Asking the experts...

I'm on the fence as to whether or not to pull the trigger on buying this car. Owner says in auction that car will start consistently with a clutch pop from a roll but inconsistently from the ingnition and is temperature sensitive. Ignition start more likely if cold. I immediatly think start, relay, PNP switch and such, but owner says Dealer is stumped with repair. Don't want to be stuck with a no start mystery car, anyone have any advice. New to forum to get advice from the experts!!!

Does not sound like a bad deal.
I would guess bad starter. You can hook up a light for testing to figure it out.
