YES. I just realized this happened to mine a few months after purchasing my car. Holding my breath, I did a code scan and, lo and behold, NO CODES.

They can also de-activate the codes... so the check engine light turns on in accessory mode, but even if the engine is BLOWN, the light stays off.

A few additions: 1) Always insist that the car engine is cold when you arrive (a warm engine can hide any start-up issues) 2) Drive fast in a straight line and break super hard with your hands barely touching the wheel to determine if the car veers under hard breaking 3) If you are buying a car that delivers power to the front wheels, put the steering wheel into full-lock and drive in a circle (any clunking will indicate a likely fault CV joint) 4) If buying a performance car, feel and inspect the inside of the wheel wells for bits of rubber, to determine if they have been doing burnouts 5) Check the manufacturing date that is printed on all tires, as they may need replacing, even if they have full tread 6) Ask the seller if they are aware of any potential issues with the vehicle... sometimes they will tell you

what kills me on listings are folks who say "no tire kickers" when what they actually mean is dont look too closely at the car and don't ask me questions. Guess they don't want my money.

[@AAllinsonNN]

Nawh m8 - a tire kicker is someone that just shows up, kicks the tires, asks about it, then leaves. They’re called a tire kicker because they’re not showing up to find out about the car and buy it; they’re just curious about the car and want to check it out, without a true intention of buying. Saying “no tire kickers” is a fair statement to deter people that aren’t going to show up with cash in hand to make an offer if they would like to purchase the vehicle after a thorough inspection.

This is a great guide for states with less incliment weather, espically on the rust and shift front cause here in mn if a car is older than two years, and wasnt owned by a car nut, loads of rust is inevitable, and if your buying a car in winter in 10 degree weather, cold trans fluid has a big effect on shifting smoothness.

[@CombatGod]

A few additional things to consider. I've bought used cars in 3 different countries. I'm hesitant on Miatas at that age but your best bet for reliability is to make sure you get a manual transmission Honda or Toyota. Those will give you in general the best access to cheap parts and make sure you don't need as many cheap parts. Also, some additional things to check for, the edges of the door and inside trimming of the door for different color paint or pain dripping. Even if they say it's never been in an accident it doesn't make it true. There's nothing worse than a car that was in a wreck that somebody fixed themselves.

Didn’t see this video and ended up getting my first car with A LOT of details, NA 1991 Miata. But all those details are al fixed and the car runs and drives like the best thing ever.

For my first project car (20+ yrs ago) I watched the newspaper classified ads for a year, found a great deal. Every deal since then has been word of mouth from contacts I made working on the first one!

[@tman5293]

A great alternative that I can't believe y'all haven't mentioned yet is a fox body Mustang. They're everywhere, Ford made a gillion of them, and the aftermarket for them is endless. It's a great car that's easy to work on, easy to maintain, and easy to find parts for.

[@axelbalderrama4155]

eally how much for one and are they manual?

[@Gnefitisis]

Pretty good guide but you didn't include my favorite questions- was the transmission/timing belt/water pump ever serviced?

[@switchtheflip9422]

I find the way the owner talks about the car let's you know how the car was treated. I love it when they are as excited to show off the cat as I am to see it. The same people who get teary eyed when selling are the same ones who did their best to make sure they didn't ruin the car.

[@switchtheflip9422]

Also, what type of tire they have on it. Cheap universal rims and brands you've never heard of mean cheap repairs and little maintenance.

[@abitirafi7277]

I've always wondered.... do people actually let you go through all of this when you check thier car? Cause I'm gonna be buying a car soon

[@chrishansen7004]

If somebody doesn’t let you go through the car more than likely their hiding something

[@pavlelekic5343]

The man said it, if they don't, it's safest to walk away.

[@bigdfitness5020]

If they don't let you look into all of that, I would highly suggest that you don't buy it.

[@chrisgoldsworthy9863]

Only issue I ran into was he didn’t want it all being done at his building. This was because of condo rules. I suggested taking it to a shop and look at it there. I always recommend getting under while on a hoist. Trying to inspect a car on a jack can cause you to miss some important parts. May not work for everyone but paying a shop $20 to get under a car saved me getting a car that would have cost me thousands In repairs or having to scrap the car.

[@kayancel2769]

Most people will let you, just be respectful with the car, remember, is not yours (yet), also, if they got angry or upset while you're checking it move away from that vehicle, they're hiding something, remember not to get emotional, there's more vehicles on the road
