Try to buy one that has not/ does not have ANY engine mods.No BOV,intake,FMIC.A car thats been modded has been beat on no doubt.Private sellers are best to buy from because some will have kept vehicle maintenance records.If you can get one with a manual tranny.I always bring someone else with me when I look at/test drive cars.Another set of mechanical eyes and ears plus they get to play devil's advocate.Lord knows I have gotten excited about buying a car and would have overlooked alot of things just to get it home if it wasn't for someone else saying "Hey ,lets look at a couple for first.You might want to sleep on this one"
