    When looking at a used front-wheel-drive car, open the window and driver very slowly in a parking lot, from a slow roll, turn all the way to the right and left while listening very carefully and driving less than 5-10 miles per hour... you should NOT hear any weird clunk/click/roll-clicking sounds, if you do, the car may need new CV axles, joints, etc....

    These are common repairs and cost $250-$700 or so...

    If the car is otherwise fine, make a note of this to the seller, ask him to lower the price $250-$400 and then get that fixed yourself....
