service light went off. but continued to repeat itself a couple times. it has 180k on it

If you just got it, call the owner back and see if he had the problem and if so, what does he know the cause is. If it is a lot of money to repair, you need to make a decision. And as suggested above, have the code checked. It may be a plugged fuel filter, injectors needing cleaning or something to do with the smog stuff. Don't sit on it, if you have to return the car, you may have only three days to do so.
