Anyone know solution to shitty 8th gen Accord and Civic paint?

My Accord with 30k miles is chipping paint off completely by the rear windshield, it's blue painted and chipped off to white.

Im looking to buy a new car. Im a poor college student and have been looking at used cars under 10k.

Was wondering if it would be wise to be pic related with 150k miles on it.

Also i dont know much about cars and what makes a used car good.

As long as you know how to drive standard and you're aware it will always need premium fuel it's a good car

lots of wax

Well how do i know if a used car us a good car?

More specifically, what are the red flags to look for in a used car?

ES poly bushing kit came in.

Is it true I shouldn't install it in areas with torsional loads? Which places should I steer clear of? I bought rubber RTAs since I figured those would not handle polyurethane well.

Search "how to buy a used car" on youtube. Scotty Kilmer and Chrisfix made good videos on it. You can spend as little as $3000 for a used beater car that's reliable.

walk around the car. look for mismatched paint, uneven panel gaps, missing trim, big dents, chips in the paint, etc. check the brake pads for wear, check the tires

get in the car. make sure everything works from the mirrors to the radio to the sunroof to the lights to the power seats

start up the car. make sure it starts up immediately. no hesitation, no squealing, no weird vibration, nothing

drive the car. does the clutch engage perfectly, do the brakes feel good, is there minimal hesitation from the throttle, does the gear linkage feel direct. is there wheel shake at 60+ mph, when you brake does the steering wheel shudder, etc.

open the hood. is the air filter clean, is the oil clean, are the belts worn, are the motor mounts fucked, etc.

you can't tell a 'bad' car from a 'good' car without a lot of investigation.

Thank you

This is all really good advice.

In addition to is the oil clean, just check the level. If it isn't where it should be, the seller is retarded. Someone with some intelligence would top off oil before trying to sell it

Also to get less specific, examine overall car symmetry

But in general follow this post, it's good if you aren't technical.
