   Nothing, if that is what one has to do, but my question was WHY buy used   
   when one can afford to buy new?   
      
   When one buys a used vehicle one can never know for sure how that vehicles   
   was used or abused, or if it was properly maintained or not.   When does one   
   generally have the most problems with ANY vehicle, during the first 50,000   
   or the last?   
      
   When one buys used THEY are loosing the beginning mileage, the mileage that   
   is most likely covered by a warranty.   What has one gained, IF one can   
   afford to buy new rather than used?
