Hi folks,
I'm thinking about purchasing a used 1992 Nissan 240SX I spotted online, and I need some guidance. The seller comes recommended by a friend, but now there's added pressure from another buyer offering more money, making me hesitant.
What should I focus on during the inspection, and what questions are essential to ask the seller to ensure I get a clear picture of the car's condition? It has just over 129k miles and looks to be in good shape.
I'd appreciate any advice or tips you can offer. Thanks!

I would suggest have the car up on a lift & check every thing underneath for rust. If it's all stock and rust free and mechanically sound with a clean history, then offer him $15K max because that's my opinion on its worth considering the mileage. If he seller is the original owner and have the window sticker for the car, then $17K is acceptable.
