If it's on a yard, just get them to fix it as a condition of Sale.

Dodgy leads or plugs or coils maybe. Could be a few different things. If its on a yard, just make sure its fixed.
1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!
