>>33274260 (OP)>it's constantly having random issuesNo, its not, not random at all. Find a mechanic relative / friend / bro and tell them to do a pre-sales inspection-type thing as if you're buying it, and tell the mechanic you're willing to spend up to $2K on the stuff most likely to leave you on the side of the road, in order of most likely.
I'm guessing you don't even know what a timing chain is, but you almost certainly need one. Radiator hoses are dirt cheap compared to the cost of a tow and the coolant that was inside them. Replacing a disk brake pad thats almost used up is like $60 of parts for all 4 wheels, but if you wait until you hear the grinding sound of metal on metal destroying the disks, a set of disks, just parts not installation, is like "four hundred bucks" so replace the pads if they're below 50% or so, it'll save you a shitton of money in the long run compared to running it into the ground and being "surprised" at the $1000 brake repair bill... Same thing with broken thermostats, broken belts, anything leaking only leaks more over time, etc.
To the people suggesting there's great cars out there that are 3 years old for $25K I have no F-ing idea why I'd get rid of a three year old car thats "great" I'd only toss one out if the engine is about to grenade or I know for a fact theres some terminal illness in the car like a blown head gasket or it got overheated to the point of smoking or there's a massive oil leak in the valve guides so she's burning a quart of oil for every tank of gas or something like that. If a 3-year old car is so "great" why is the seller desperate to sell it? It must be an absolute piece of shit (the car, not the previous owner). If it was such a "great car" I'd keep it or give it to a relative or friend not desperately pass it along to some bagholder i donno.
