Buying older used cars
Do you purchase without having a mechanic look at it?

Found a decent car for my teen that ran and looked great but when I checked the VIN history it showed that it was in a total loss collision back in 2006 when it was only 4 years old. Since that time it only has an additional 10k miles on it for a total of 113k.

The seller was fine with me taking it to a mechanic until I told him it would take at least 2 hours because I was having them check the frame too. Then the seller balked on me. Said he has another buyer willing to purchase without using a mechanic.

Do people really buy used cars without checking them out at all?

Well the cops will have trouble catching him in that thing, so you won't have to worry about him getting too many traffic tickets.

In the price points you're shopping, compromises will have to be made. I'll bet the Vic is easier to insure. But like Jason alluded to, there's a good chance a car like that has been rode hard.

You should look at a small regular cab pickup for two reasons:

1. There's usually only room for one more person, so there's less chance he'll get in an accident because he was distracted by a carload of his idiot friends.

2. You'll have a pickup to use when you need one.
