1997 Nissan Maxima General Question

I have a 1997 Nissan Maxima that gets hot and cuts off. A little white smoke comes out of the tail pipe and does start up. I just bought the car 2-days ago as is.

Jeanette, You may need to have your head gaskets checked, never purchase a vehicle without a mechanic thoroughly inspecting.
