It’s still luck—if I choose a car based on whoever happens to drive past with a “For Sale” sign in the window, the street I’m standing on isn’t a very good determinator of the quality of automobile.
It can, depending on what city you live in. I don’t know if this is at all related to your point, but the street you find a car for sale can be a great indicator of its quality.
Namely, what neighborhood is the car in? Is the street notorious for certain things? A personal example: I would never buy a car I found for sale on Hwy 14. I would buy a car I found for sale on Hwy 110, but only outside of the Loop.

Yeah, I’ll give you that one. I was imagining choosing the street by, say, walking out your front door, not by the expected quality of automobile.
