    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

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

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.
