I'm not 100% sure about a 2000 Max, but on my Dad's 99 GLE whenever his ignition coil would start freaking out, it tripped the SLIP and TCS indicator lights. As soon as I got the bad coils replaced, the lights didn't come back on.
In addition to that, the SLIP & TCS lights also act as an SES light for the traction control system problem codes. So most likely there is a problem with the TCS system.

Avoid this car..
My moms 99 Max had this problem (Started happening while i was driving on the highway), i got both these indicators.. resulted in very expensive repairs ..
ABS module/controller which interconnected to he TCS was burnt, costs several thousands to fix..

I got this excerpt from the service manual:
TCS Function
Drive wheel slippage is detected by the 4-wheel rotating speed
signal. When the wheel slip becomes excessive, the TCS operates,
causing the SLIP indicator lamp to flash. And, at the same time,
fuel-cut and throttle opening signals are sent to the ECM and a
signal requiring a change in the shift schedule is sent to the TCM.
When the TCS OFF switch is used to cancel TCS function, the TCS
OFF indicator lamp will light. (TCS does not activate.)
In case of a malfunction in the TCS, both the SLIP indicator lamp and the TCS OFF indicator lamp will light, while shutting down the TCS system operation. The vehicle will operate in the same way as a vehicle not equipped with the TCS.

if the car is a good enough price, have them make the repairs and if they aren't completed, refuse to take the car.

(On my dad's 99 GLE I only had to replace 2 of the 6 coils and the car has been running great for months now.)
