Crazy to see someone answering comments one year old video thanks so much mate. Now my question is any good tests to do on the car other than just a test drive to make sure it’s not gonna fall apart tomorrow morning

Just take a good look at things, listen for strange noises when the engine is running, check for worn brakes, suspension components etc.

what about registration? like ik some ppl will say it's registered, but then fail to mention that it will cost a few grand to get it registered next time. what do i do about that (im 16 looking for my first vehicle)?
@AlexPerrucci

That's going to be different depending on where you live. Registration doesn't matter to me unless there's something wrong with the car that's going to prevent it from being able to be registered. Most NA Miata's are old enough now to not require emissions if you have that. One of the most important things is to make sure it has a clean title and registration shouldn't be an issue.

From experience I went to get my car registered and I told them that I paid 700 dollars for the car and they charged me little to no sales tax
There are small dealers who are there on Facebook marketplace to Flip cars. They buy and sell cars, normally they get these cars from auctions and sell on Facebook market. How to avoid them and reach the real private seller (if there are private seller in the first place)?
Is there anyway you can do a fact check on the car or a website to check the cars, history, and the damage and clean title.
Appreciate this video 🙏
What do you usually do to background check the car? What site are you using to check the vin? What are some things you inspect? How do you make sure the car doesn’t have a lien on it or anything weird like that? (I guess if they have the title there won’t be a lien right)?

I usually don’t do a ton besides making sure the title is clean and visually inspecting the vehicle. Could def run a carfax if you have access.
When I finally decide to buy, other than the car do I just need a bill of sale and the title from the seller to get the car registered

Yeah its perfectly safe. Just make sure the name they sign on the title matches the name on the front of the title perfectly.

I recently bought a car from Facebook marketplace on the 4th. Went to a couple car dealers I personally know thinking they could help me get the title in my name and no luck yet. It’s a salvage title and the fellow sold it to me already fixed. He never gave me receipts or pictures and he never got a rebuilt title he said I could. I plan to take a trip to dmv hoping all can work out. He signed his name and address on a piece of paper that has yet to be notarized. And he just gave me title and car he wrote nothing on back or front. My question is will I get this easily worked out or will this be a headache. Has same state title as where I live but I never got him to sign the title and we didn’t get anything notarized and he lives 3 hours from me. Will I be good by just going to dmv to apply for title in my name and rebuilt title so I can drive car. It’s a 2013 mustang v6 runs and drives. Was totaled only because of a baby hit to the back air bags never went off. Has salvage title but runs and drives and is 100 percent fixed can’t even tell it had been hit.

You're right to be cautious, sounds a little sketch.
Hello there, great video, I wanted to ask, I found a car I like on Facebook marketplace contacted seller and I met him in person, we talked and reached a deal however he said he wants a actual cash not money or anything like that, I hesitant about because what proof will I have if I buy the car that I bought it from him? He saying he will give me bill of sales and the title, not sure if that is enough proof because he is not the actual owner he is selling for his mom. I want to see if you have any recommendations or any suggestions?
@AlexPerrucci
4 ай бұрын
Cash and bill of sale is fine. Just make sure whoever’s name is on the title is the same person who’s name is filled in and signed on the back of the title when they sign it over to you.
How could we drive the car home. I'm guessing the seller will want to keep his plates and we would need insurance

You'll have the title, most states have some sort of grace period. If you were pulled over all you would have to do is explain you just bought the car.

Miatas are one of the cheapest sports cars for the specs and they're classics. And they're still under $10k. That's cheap for that much car. If you want a really cheap car just buy any Buick or Chevy with a 3800, change the oil and drive it for 10 years for $1500.

No car is worth what the dealership offers. That's like saying you want to buy something and resell it for what you paid or more. That's not how depreciating assets work.

Titles have a status. Clean, rebuilt, salvage. Rebuilt or salvage indicate the car had significant damage and was repaired. These usually require extra steps to register so I always look for cars with a clean title.

not a good first car. im assuming you're looking for one from the 80s and they are either going to be super hard to find with good maintenance or 200k+ miles. If you want to get a car for fixing and working on it for 5 years and spend 10-20k on go for it. do not get either of those as a first car, go for reliability. If you like the long front design look at a mustang or challenger
what if its a car dealer that sells alot of cars, so the car title is not in his name, but he has the car title. How do I navigate that?

If it’s a legit dealer they should know what to do to transfer the title correctly. If it’s an individual I’d be a little careful.

A title on a vehicle is the status of the vehicle; Clean title, Rebuilt title and Salvage title. You can search up the nuances between them, but generally a clean title is ideal since it typically means there was no damage to the car.

Ask for the vin number. There are many sites where you can look up a vin, and find out all the information about the car

yes, typically you can find the CARFAX on the car. you will need the vin in order to do that. the only downside is that you have to pay for it…
