It was the multifunction switch going out.
Thanks augi! I was kinda leaning toward that being the problem, but I've been lazy lately, lol. Plus I drive my wife's car most of the time these days.

I also lol'd to rj's comment. The gas pedal is what I normally use, lol.

And I agree with Chibi. Budsjlm, you should still check out that Z34 and low ball the guy. You'd be surprised about how little money people will take when you flash some cash at them.

Agree with Mike, don't be afraid to make an offer. My brother went and looked at a 1998 Mercedes E-class for 6,000. Offered them 2700 and bought it for 2900.00 People are hurting to sell. If I had 2700 i would be looking at cars up to at least 4000. Worst they do is say no.

I've been monitoring a car that's been for sale for a good month now. If it is still for sale when I'm ready to look this summer, I know I could probably low-ball this guy because I know how long he has had it out and money talks. Use people's frustrations haha
