Part 3/8:
Upon inspection, Buddy finds the car has cosmetic damage but assesses that the frame is intact and repairable. Notably, while examining the engine, he identifies potential problems that could contribute to the rough running condition. He scans the car’s system using an OBD reader, which returns codes indicating issues with the mass airflow sensor and intake air temperature circuit.
Negotiating the Price
Understanding the car's market value and needed repairs, Buddy decides to make a lowball offer. The seller initially counters, but after some negotiation, they settle on $3,250. Relieved yet excited, Buddy knows he has a project ahead of him that could yield significant profits.
