Learn about cars first and it isn't a gamble.
I know a ton about cars, but short of taking the motor apart there's only so much you can glean from a drive and quick once over.
Then you don't know cars as well as you say you do, because you can check for a whole lot more than that without pulling the engine lmao. Maybe stick to the dealership if you don't feel like you can effectively evaluate it's condition.
