   Automatic or standard? A burnt, worn out clutch will 'chatter' under light   
   acceleration.

   If they're sloppy, they'll do that.

   He may have been judging the car by experience with others and made a   
   general statement. Personally, I'd find a mechanic who would actually   
   drive it and then diagnose it. It might be better if you take it, so that   
   the mechanic doesn't attempt to pull the wool over your daughter's eyes.
