Default Looking to buy a cr-v

I was test driving a V yesterday that i am interested in buying.

There's only one problem though, every time i let of the gas and then step on it again, there comes a HUGE clunk! not like sway bar clunk, more like a lose engine/transmission clunk. But when i step on the gas slowly there's no clunk.

I've driven two other V's and one other had this problem.

Does anyone know what this could be?

Btw. it's auto.

open the hood and get someone to watch the engine as you switch from drive to reverse then back to drive. Keep your foot firmly on the brake petal while doing this. If there is excessive engine movement, it needs motor mounts. A large clunk could also be caused by blown universal joints, broken exhaust hangers, and worn out cv shafts. And of coarse, a million other things.
