Buying a new ralliart need some wisdom

Okay so I am buying a car and one of the problems it has is that

"If the A/C is used in hot weather when the car is idling (when in motion the A/C functions normally) it will cause the car to overheat. This will need to be fixed to avoid overheating, and is reflected in the price!"

The car has been running for about 130 km and is at a price of 3 grand. I personally feel this is a great deal. I was just wondering how much the cost would be for it to get fixed. I feel it is just a problem with the radiator fans not working optimally.

If you have other ideas let me know. Thanks alot ralliart community.

Search the Ralliart threads for changing the fan control module. It's a do it yourself part. This is assuming that the car overheats because the fans dont work which you can quickly verify.

And what do you think the symptoms would be if the fan control modules are not working.

Thank you

By the sounds of it i feel like this is like a reoccurring problem.
