It was easier to post than a kid I know is looking for a car.

I'm trying to figure out why you're even involved in this decision?

Check the history and repairs on that car. Friend of mine has one and it’s gone through two blown head gaskets already.

Because he knows nothing about buying a car and while I do, I am here to get more info, ideas, suggestions.

Tell him to take the bus. Builds character and how my pa treated me. I turned out relatively fine, just a lot of bruises a long the way.

Is this a flex? I’m still driving the first vehicle that I bought out of college 15 years ago.

Look on Carvana. I recently got a 2021 Lexus ES350 with 18k miles in spectacular condition for 31,000. Free shipping. Commuter car.

Odd thread title for someone that isn’t your step son.

I don't even know what to tell you. I bought my son to 2014 f250 that has had everything done to it. Including 179,000, mi. I'm sure it's seen s*** that we would all love to do. If it had a story it would say cows and p****. But if you're looking for a good Lexus the lady at the estate sale in White oak is a going to sell her RX. One of the bubble ones but it only has 122,000 mi. So there you go. You do the work and get the deal

That's a 2021 Honda Accord Touring 2.0T. In Louisiana they are kinda rare. Top of the line trim. No wonder he wants it.

However, if you look, I found another one in Lafayette by using ChatGPT to shop it. It has only 32,106 miles. It's priced at $28,898. Sane car. $2k higher price. About 18k fewer miles.

Do your research before pulling the trigger

Not the step dad, but the dad that stepped up.

$27k for a 5-year old Accord with 50k miles. The world has gone mad.
