A few cars I've seen advertised have said they have transmission problems. Light in, and it either needs a gearbox replaced or a sensor... They don't offer much information other than they can drive the car a short way before it goes into limp, low power, mode. I'm not considering these cars in my search, but was curious to see if this was common, and what I should watch for, if anything, when I'm looking at cars. Any advice on this one guys?

My X went into limp mode periodically. It turned out to be an electrical gremlin which was resolved by replacing the alternator. As I understand, that's a common solution to transmission errors.
Whatever you do, get a PPI done by an Indy shop. Have them check the electrical/charging system and for smoking exhaust on idle (if you go with an N62).
