If you can get to Epping Forest there's a "Lude-Shaman" who may be able to help. You need to take something personal, maybe a camshaft from a previous car, something like that. He uses it to sacrifice a vole (Sometimes a rat, I don't know why) in a hallucinogenic and, frankly quite oily ceremony. The ceremony conjures your spirit animal, and depending on its form he can tell you whether you should have a 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th Gen. There's only been one case of a 1st Gen Spirit Animal Awakening - but that was automatic. It is said that when a Manual 1st Gen Awakening occurs, we will enter into "The Rising", and all the Preludes from past will be reborn in the fires of a long extinct volcano under Minato. From here they will venture forth as a mighty army to overthrow... but I digress. The Shaman can then send your spirit animal to find your Soul-Lude.

Sadly, this last part has a mixed success rate. As spirit animals are often rodents, most people give up and go home before they even get out of the forest. There's a clip on the forum somewhere of someone's spirit-cow taking out a truck. Given that this was in Russia I fear it may be some time before it returns, but you have to admire that kind of dedication.

Or Gumtree, yeah.

Each must walk his own path. I can say no more.

But if you get really stuck, Donald may have visited your future. Just don't cheapen it, OK?

Good luck, Pilgrim.

Don't birth your news. It's icky.

This is the bit where I step back and let more knowledgeable folk offer opinion....
You'll get the best advice on what to check the car for.

Not sure if you might get more response with a new "What do you think of buying this car?" type thread on this one?
