I can think of (2) things right now to check.

1. Tire pressure - Cost = Free

and/or

2. Wheel alignment - Cost = $80 to $120

Good Luck!

i am optimistic based on what GS400 said, if it hasnt had any major accidents then, the cause is tire pressure or alignment, which are not really that expensive.

if it happens only it accelerates, does the above assessment hold true?

Have the seller get a 4 wheel computerized alignment on the car. If it does NOT pass alignment..... run as fast as you can.
