IIRC, when you buy from a dealership, they have a sticker to tell the date it was inspected or something. I look around here and they usually keep it for 3 months or so before they send it to auction. I look for the ones that are oldest on the lot and see what their schedule it. After which, I make an offer. Individuals do not and they also play the same games and there is even less recourse. My E300 came from a car seller that had to fix my fuel system leak after I discovered it 2 days later. An individual would tell me to go pound sand.
Wait. You have a social conscience? All the while hoping that the economy goes south and people get tossed from their homes so you can buy it cheap and profit from it? And you have the nerve to criticize Wall Street Parasites? Why? Because you aren't as good in the game as they are? Got Hypocrisy?
