I just remembered one time when i was listening to the radio show of motwister in the morning, they had a segment there that encourages callers working fom different industries and share their trade secrets..of course we all know the usual kitchen staff at a restaurant playing on your food, etc... but what struck me was one caller who said he's from the automotive sales industry and shared a secret that not all "brand new cars" are really bought brand new...

now it keeps on ringing on my mind because we are about to buy a new montero and im thinking...are there give away hints on how you can really spot if the one you bought is not a repossessed and reconditioned to mint state car.

Otherwise we just really have to wait for the car to bug down at such an early age and credit it to experience and just wish for karma to make things even.

*newbie and this is my 1st post...mods if you see this post to be more appropriate to be transferred to a different thread...please do so. thanks.
