I really hesitated to spend that kind of money, just how often you find a pristine low mileage vehicle?
I have had very bad luck with used cars, never again.
One was a Buick LeSabre, New transmission, then a cracked engine block.
The other Datsun 310, one problem after another.

Never again. Have been very happy with Toyota and Honda. Now I am considering Kia. I would never buy a Chevy, Ford or Chrysler.
