Nope no way. I saved $20,000 on my XR8 because it was three months old and had 3000kms on it.

One bought new and one bought second/third/forth-hand 18 years ago.
Old - hard getting some parts Not so precious about the paint Don’t have to run in the engine (more concerned about wearing it out) New - reliability and user-friendliness The first scratch really hurts Driving it off the lot and thinking how much $$$ you are losing
