But don't be discouraged. I just point these things out to you as bargaining tools to get a better deal and so you don't get stuck with a bum car needing a ton of minor things but costly and annoying. There's many out there. Get a good ine where it eityer has some miles but was maintained and properly repaired/addressed or a newer year. Bill likes to say get the newest vehicle with the lowest mileage you can afford. The balance is key and i couldn't agree more.
