Rich, creamy eggnog.
So, I'm looking at a 2003 Metro that's currently on the market for a steal. The one thing that's bothering me is the owner (her name is Edith, how cool is that?) says that she hasn't started it at all this year, and that when she did last year it would "die quickly." The owner thinks it just needs a new battery, but as far as I know the battery only starts the engine and the alternator would take over after that. If this Metro dies quickly, wouldn't it need a lot more work than just a new battery? I want to make sure I'm not jumping into a bad deal. Thanks for any help.
