i have a question about a security system?

[mikecrisp]

ok so, im about to pick up a 5 speed sedan thats for sale across the street for 800 bucks, but theres one problem. the key wont turn over. the owner says its because of this security button near the steering wheel, we kept pushing the button in or whatever but the key wouldnt turn at all. would i be able to cut the wire? or no. i would try it but the owner would prefer if i do it after the purchase, so im kinda ehh about that, but ive seen the car run before considering hes been my nieghbor for about 6 years now. i doubt it has to do with anything else, if you guys want ill snap some pics of that button thing tomorrow, in the mean time. do you guys have any thoughts on this?
thanks
Mike

Maybe the wheel is locked. Turn the wheel to the left and try to turn the key.

X2 my ignition is a PITA if the wheel is locked i have to keep wiggling the key/wheel to get it to turn
