I like to buy cars that are good deals, but might need a few things.Put the $ in myself. This way i know whatever problems fixed are w new oemparts, that it was done right, and then you even have some good service record receipts now lol. Any car you look at it will have its common issues, like certain gaskets that like to leak, the IMS bearing issue is another example.



But its the buyers responsibility to do their research and find out these common problem areas for the car you're interested in and check if its been corrected already or if it will need to be done. This can save you thousands in repairs and is overlooked too much. Go on the forums and make a post. Say you're in the market for this car with this spec.



What should i look out for? Whats a fair price in the mileage/condition bracket im shopping in. What will eventually probably break and how much is that to fix. Also you might gain some knowledge on some options or packages you didnt know about and want or some overhyped.
