Pros?

Thank you- Seller thinks it is this as well. He mentioned he got the car got detailed so might be they cleaned it a bit too harshly and got some gunk/cleaning solution inside of the shift mechanism?
When we were trying to fix it the top button literally popped off so maybe it needs a good cleaning, or spring/other part replacement. But to be honest, I was not willing to take that chance, especially since the seller did not lower the price based on this.
I asked him to get it checked out, and if it's nothing serious I will still buy it. Fingers crossed!
