    Did you buy your car new or pre-owned?

    I was just wondering how many owners bought their car new and who picked it up second hand.

    I picked mine up for 10k$ from a fleet car rental place with 25k "rental" miles already on it. It's come a long way from then.

    I did, but it was a family thing! We knew the previous owners and knew the condition it was in!

            Bought mine used in August 2001.
            Apparently some old guy pwn3d it before me.
            My car is originally sold in B.C., the land of good weed.

                    I got mine used. I traded some Q78 (36") SuperSwamper tires plus $100 for it. I got it from a family that I know who had bought it 3 years ago as a car for the nanny to drive. It came from a used car dealership before that, so who knows how many owners its had. I never ran a CarFax on it.

                      "Dealer Special" and oh boy was it SPECIAL. $485 out the door, had to tow it to my friends shop. $1000.00 later and it runs like new. Carfax shows it had 4 previous owners and began its life as a demo car in Windor Locks, Conn. It was driven for a few months by a Rep. or someone at the Parts Distribution Center for Mazda. Wish I knew who it was.

                      It now has 184,000 and still running strong.

                          I got mine from a used-car slot... for about $6000. It has only one previous owner - "major rental company". That's what Carfax says anyway. It had 30 something thousand miles and was in excellent condition.

                            Protege was bought new in 93 as a 92 leftover. It became mine in 1998. Died in 2002.

                              Brand spankin' new! It still had the white sticker on the hood, trunk and sunroof from the shipping. The dealer didn't even put any of their retarded stickers on it. It had 6 miles on it.
