Also, don't think that buying new will save you from everything. There are many new cars that had been in accidents or were damaged during shipping/handling/delivery that were fixed, never reported and sold "as new".

I was the middle car in an accident. I was pushed into the car in front of me. It was a 09 lancer ralliart, brand new on a test drive at the time. They never went against the insurance company, fixed it in house, sold it as new. Bet they didnt disclose that.

just my 2 cents. be careful very careful when buying used. there will be some great deals out there for some used 370's do your homework...

from my experience from buying used vettes and one used 350...
there is no in between. they have either been treated like a member of the family or kicked in the xss.... so buyer beware...
