Buying a car at 70,000 miles means that someone got all the reliability, and now they're dumping the car onto you to deal with the headaches. --- "GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.

Sonic Cannon 03/09/21 12:17:02 AM #9:	Big strawmanning going on in here. Our current car was a 2008 and we bought it in 2014 with only 32000km on the odometer for like $5.5k NZD. We've spent probably about $1000 on maintenance in the last 6-7 years, most of which was just annual servicing and replacing unavoidable things like tyres (twice) and brake pads. Pretty good deal imo. --- Keep it green. <cite>Sonic Cannon posted [p:951505797] in Contrary t... [t:79338602]...</cite> <quote>Big strawmanning going on in here.

And it hasn't been test driven once? I think they're saying that you can get most of the benefits of a new car without actually buying a new car.
