RCM and CPS problems
Re: RCM and CPS problems
Sure the RCM can cause problems but it can be examined and a fix applied to any obvious problem areas. The CPS can cause problems as well, just carry a spare and the tools install it.
Buy a car that has been well maintained not beaten to death. Then look here for solutions for any problem that may arise, do not go to a dealer.
Re: RCM and CPS problems
Replace the CPS every 50K and it is doubtful you will have any trouble with that issue.

Re: If you do have trouble with the RCM.
I had a problem last year which turned out to be the RCM. I had some trouble trying to get it fixed here (in the UK) and ended up sending it to a guy "on this forum" in the USA who tests it, repairs any bad connections etc and sends it back. All it cost was the postage both ways and a small charge for the repair. No need to buy a new RCM and no problems with it since then. Hope this helps.
Generally, my only advice would be to use the car if you buy one. If you SORN it and lock it away for months over winter (as I have done many times) you might end up with problems - that has been my mistake.
