idk if im writing this in the right thread but here goes

iam currently saving up some money right now with my budget at about 4.2k right now and i am predicting that i will get rid of my old 91 acura integra (about 147k miles) that i have been driving since high school within the next few years or so if i can hopefully get a job during that time.

so heres my main question,

what is the best and safest way to purchase a used car that is reliable for you?

i understand there are other costs to the car such as insurance and all that other stuff too.

but what are some factors that you would consider in purchasing your first car when you dont have a lot of money? i have never negotiated with a seller too so what are some things to do and to look out for? is there any way to look out for scams and to know if i am being scammed? what recommended questions would i ask the seller about the car?

i have never really done this before and i do learn a lot from mistakes. but im just hoping that i dont make any big mistakes.

anyways, any advice would help. thanks
