Default Shaking

went and test drove a car yesterday and from a stop under acceleration it was shaking like when your rotors are warped and you hit your brakes. i could feel it alot in the steering wheel. like it would move side to side. any help would be appreciated, trying to decide on whether or not i want the car

Sounds like maybe tie rod ends or wheel bearings/hub assemblies. That's like $400ish in parts if you're gonna fix it yourself.
