considering buying car from original owner. he has no paperwork bc his mechanic nephew does all the work at the nephews auto repair employer/garage. 180,000K mile. asking $4k.
70 yr old retired physician bought car new, he is sole owner. Or so he says. Anyone have a carfax account? VIN: jtjgf10ux20140661
took test drive and without researching tranny issue, noticed a microsecond hesitation when shifting from park to drive or drive to reverse... anything way/thing I can test or check while in his driveway tomorrow, before making a mistake in purchase so as to reduce a bad tranny issue with this car?
what other high risk items do you suggest inspecting with my limited tools or garage bay before making a decision?
