Newer ones....but then they are the local low price machine......some are good others ??????? well. you need to consider how they drive VS how we drive.....many are not up to the highway like we drive. many hardly ever see the highway.....and most are junk before we expect them to fall appart....go to the junkyard next time you are there.....look at odometers....you will see what I mean.....I spent a lot of time combing the yard for parts of the old 1968 Fiat 500 I used to have.
