And signs of "abuse" can be very easily hidden. And any past owner can play like a meek and honest person for the sake of a sale.

Basically, buying used is taking all of the possible issues of buying new and adding years of use to it.
I could easily be this person too. I am the last person people think would be a "speeder" or drive aggressively. No not him, he's too melow. It pisses me off and makes me laugh at the same time.


OP: I like to buy new as I've gotten older but buying a three year old Z car should handle the abuse better than some, while saving a few bucks.
