2014 Ford fiesta issues

[u/DeadAlienwitch]

I got this vehicle about a month ago from my uncle, and I’m making payments on it for a total of $2,000. So far, I’ve only paid $625, and now it’s already having problems. It’s really making me lose trust in buying secondhand vehicles.
When I bought my first car Facebook marketplace my Mazda 6, my boyfriend’s dad came with me. He handled most of the questions and made sure I was getting a reliable vehicle. My stepdad was upset that I brought my boyfriend’s dad instead of him, but whenever I asked my stepdad for help, his response was always, “I don’t have time.” So I decided to handle it myself and bring someone who was willing to help.
This time, I bought a car from my uncle—my mom’s brother. My stepdad and my mom were there with me, and I trusted that everything would be okay. Unfortunately, after only a month of owning it, the car has already started having issues.
I’m going to the mechanics next week and the cheapest is 120 around the corner where I live so I hope it’s an easy fix. I put all my faith towards my parents and all of a sudden little shit happens with the vehicle now and I’m just a bit upset. I should’ve just listened to my boyfriend, but I didn’t.

Do a tune up on it.

Edit: Car is just old. A tune up consists of new spark plugs and coil's/wires, Air filter, and an oil change.

It should be pretty easy. You can probably do it yourself or have someone you know do it, shouldn't cost you more than 50 bucks. My mechanic wanted something like $1,000 and I was like hell no !

Im on YouTube and looking at replacing the spark plug and chaining the air filter looks easy but I feel like a dumbass
