Always buy from a person not a dealer. Look for a model known to be reliable and cheap to fix and maintain. I bought a 95 Ford Ranger for $1,800 and am still driving it 5 years later. I’ve maybe put another 2k into it from oil changes, tires and brakes. People pay way too much for bells and whistles.

I did this in my younger years and the cars I got always had some hidden fucked up problem.
The most notable was cemented in spark plugs, rip that Honda Civic

Lol yeah there’s always that risk. Feel like you want to find some boomer that’s selling his daughters car that just went to college or something.

My minivan is (well, was) like this. The person I bought it from said the roof-mounted DVD player was professionally installed. I got it home, pulled the interior apart (I was installing a new headunit, backup camera, and some other things), and found the “professionally installed” wiring crossed in front of the side curtain airbag. It wasn’t secured anywhere at all, either. Just flopping around. I fixed that up along with some other issues I found.
