Someone selling a used car that they just bought, saying "we don't need it anymore". Is that a red flag?

You don't need to know why, you just need to have the car inspected by a mechanic that you trust. If the mechanic clears it and you like the price then that's all you need to know.

You neverrrrr knowwwww. Maybe they took it on the highway for the weekend and it occasionally overheats, or shit happens with it. Dumb move on the seller to say they just bought it, red flag. Just get a ppi done

Do they have the title?

Make sure the title is in their name.

It's a RAV4 2009 with 130k miles, so it should be reliable. I just don't get why they are selling if they just bought it.
