    M.2 vs SATA is not perceivable in regular use, only in large file transfers, so don’t worry about that. HDDs are cheaper than SSDs so have a fast SSD as a boot drive and a HDD as a storage drive for larger files

    M.2 can have performance decrease due to heat, but even then it will still be faster than a SATA drive.  Basically if you can afford the NVME drive then get that one, it's waaaay faster than sata.

    Nvme all the way!!
    its not hot under normal circumstance, / load.
    even if you make it hot to be slowed down, it shall still be faster than sata ssd, 4x vs 1x

    Wait, you have two jobs but are still asking how to make money? Are you spending all of you money or what? I have might have no idea what I'm doing but maybe you need to cut expenses? if you smoke maybe try smoking less (Harder done then said) and put that money into a PC fund?

    1. Carfax is only going to have information that was submitted to it. Some of that information is automatic (eg: any time you file a claim with your insurance). If the previous driver totaled the car and never reported it to insurance, and then did the repair themselves? Carfax would have no idea.
    2. You generally avoid stolen? You can't even register a stolen car anyway, so not really a problem - though as stated, check VIN w/ police.
    3. You will likely never know if the vehicle was a fleet car, or had a ton of owners (Carfax might reports multiple owners, but I wouldn't count on it). Because of that, there's literally no reason to worry about the car being a former fleet car. If it is, it is - if it's not, it's not. You won't know either way anyway.
     
    The primary thing to remember is: Get Carfax Report, run VIN past police, get independent (or different dealer) inspection.

    For the first one, doing a carfax (or similar) report on the car should tell you whether it was in any major accidents.
     
    It might also list if stolen - but for that, you should definitely have the police run the VIN - just go to the local police station with the VIN and ask them if they can check to make sure it wasn't stolen.
     
    For the last part, unless the dealer discloses this, I don't think there's any reasonable way of checking whether it was a fleet vehicle or not.

    They're supposed to, but the ones I've been to don't.
    My Dakota had a knock it it's original engine.
    My RAM 2500's wiring for the back door locks is fucked up (and it was like that for every RAM THEY had).
    My father's 3500 had LEGALLY REQUIRED emissions equipment deleted by a Canuck before making it to Idaho, and the dealer only added back the cat.
     
    Three different dealerships.

    It depends on the condition of the vehicle. Generally, the dealership would fix any outstanding issues (especially if a newer used car), but should list any and all problems before the sale.
    Regardless of whether the dealer inspected the car or not, you should ALWAYS 100% OF THE TIME get a used car inspected yourself by a third party mechanic.
     
    Never, ever, buy a used car without having it inspected yourself. Never take the dealer at their word.
     
    The only exception I'd add here is if the car is literally brand new, and you're the first owner. In such case, the warranty plus the fact that it's new usually means having a mechanic look at it is a waste of money.

    They do inspect them because thats how they figure out how much money they will provide for trade in. As far as fixing them, that would depend on the cost of repair vs how much they can sell the car for. If you spot an issue, and they really want to close a deal they might be willing to put the work in to sell you a car. As far as using a local mechanic, you could always go do a test drive and drive it to a local mechanic to have a look. 
     
    Not sure what area of the world your in, but depending on the age of car your looking at and the money your looking at spending, buying from a private party might be cheaper as dealerships tend to charge a bit more. But buying from a private party you need to make sure you have the car checked out by someone knowledgeable. https://www.kbb.com/ is a good site to go to if your in the US to figure out how much the car is actually worth, generally they will give private party price as well as dealer price.

    At the very least it they wont let you drive the car to test it, then walk the fuck away from that dealer. When I went to lease my Nissan, they basically thru me the keys and said I could take it pretty much anywhere I wanted for the test drive. Hell the sales person didnt even join us.

    Your choice - literally doesn't matter. If you know a local mechanic personally that you trust, that's probably the best option.
     
    If not, take the car to another dealer of the same manufacturer of said car, and pay for an inspection.
     
    Expect to pay $100-$200 at least. More if you want a super comprehensive inspection where they start ripping stuff apart.
    If the dealer won't let you take the car out for inspection, walk away. Just walk the fuck away.
     
    Same thing if they won't let you do a test drive.
     
    Pro-tip, you can combine the two processes if you plan ahead. Book a time for the test drive. Book a time for the inspection slightly later. Drive to the mechanic. Get inspection.
     
    Bonus points if you can also get the mechanic to come along for a quick ride along too, so they can get a feel for the car in movement.
    Indeed - I've actually never had a sales person join me for a test drive. Typically they've got other work to do so for them to come along is just wasting their time.
     
    If they won't let you take the car (for either an inspection or a test drive), then that's a huge red flag and you should just go somewhere else (I'd also call them - after you've bought elsewhere - and explain in detail how they lost their sale).
