Thread for people buying a used car. Where we share our advice, experience and opinions.

I am looking at buying a 94 Honda Accord for $800 it hasn't been driven in two years and the owner says it in good condition. Is it a risk? This is Australia. So a year's registration will be $700, along the other admin cost that will total $100.

Buying a 23 year old car, that has been abandoned for 2 years and only costs 700 bucks is always gonna be a risk

>Holden Astra
lmao, won't GM let the britbongs and ausfags know they are buying Opels and their cars are just rebadget shit to feel better about themselves?

any car left for 2 years is a risk. did they at least start it up once a week?

>implying any human being has the discipline to start a car once a week every week for more than like a month
No, and if he says he has he's lying

Buddy is talking about buying an old 2000 Prelude from some woman his boss is friends with for 350. Tells me there's an issue with the electrics, says it's just a grounding issue. I tell him I'll buy it from him for 450 because I'm looking for a prelude.

It's either this, or buy an old civic for 800-900. Both cars are meant to be sleepers, only with not shit interiors. Thoughts anyone?

anyone worth their salt on the streets will know what a prelude is, not a sleeper.
ask why they haven't got the grounding issue fixed if it's so small. offer to buy it at a higher price with the issue fixed. if they back out they are hiding shit.

Drive a Toyota corolla currently but I'm looking to buy a truck so the other guys I work with won't find out about my small penis. Was thinking about a Tacoma but I don't think it's big enough. Any advice?

KBB says 6K in mind condition with the stars aligned....

The owner is a woman who after it broke just bought a new car. Apparently, the only reason she hasn't already sold is because of sentimental value since it's the first car she ever bought from a dealership, and didn't want to sell It at first anyways, my buddy had to finagle her into selling it. Probably should have mentioned that earlier, but i was taking a shit.
