Thats the check engine light, they can come on just from the mileage on the car so it may not mean theres anything wrong. Then again you may want to get some carfax on it or ask why its on before you buy and get stuck fixing it right after you bought it.

Have the car checked out by a mechanic before buying. Have them read the engine codes. I've never heard of a light coming on because of mileage so check it out.

I didnt mean mileage as the cause, just high mileage cars from an O2 sensor or something like that, that has nothing to do with if it will run or not
