Talking +++ another test drive +++

Went to test drive a 535is 1987 with about 140K milles.
As of now it is the most accurate discreption (on the phone) of a car.
But...he did not tell me that it had one or more loud (read clapping) valves.
It only needs ajusting, he said.
The interior was exellent and the body needed minimal work.

It was the worst test drive I have ever had!
He could not turn the engine of because one of the switches was malfonctionning, so the car had to run all the time.
Now I have to get the car going without staling at all cost!!!
I proceded to put it in reverse and started backing up but the lever was in first
and the clutch is real low, like on the floor and it as a close shifter instaled.
To make a story short, I staled the car 3 times (the car started right away), the guy was frantic, he was telling me when to shift. At one point the rpm was at 2,500 and the guy wanted me to shift , this was a real nervous dood.
