Bought a Lude

Has a couple of issues though. I think the struts might be blown? When I go over a series of small bumps and dips on a back road there is a wobble or wiggle noise from the car. The car doesn't ride horrible because of it mainly a noise and i can feel it in the steering wheel. I've also pushed down on the car and it doesn't bounce several times. If the windows are down it sounds like medal hitting medal..... What would be some other signs that it might be the struts?

Also if I try to start her twice in a row she really doesn't want to start the second time? Starts right up the first, if I drive somewhere and run in real quick and come right out starts up just fine? Two starts in a row however just doesn't happen very easily? Any thoughts? Thanks for any info

Sounds more like a problem with ball joints or tie rods to me. And when you say doesn't want to start do you mean it won't crank or it cranks but won't start?

why would it get fuel the first time but not the second time? Then again I don't know much about car engines. It has too many miles about 160,000, I just needed somthing to get around when I needed while I was at school though and replace my stolen VTEC Del Sol, punks stipped it down. Cheap cash car, I realize I'll have to put some money into it with that many miles

I don't know about that, I'll be in school and barely driving. Also barely making money, would be nice though. Then I'd have me a VTEC with 4ws

If I were you, I'd get it checked out, then get it fixed, then save for an engine swap.
