be careful buying super low miles, good condition cars.


first-person lesson (biggest financial mistake of my life -im not married btw)

2012 i bought a stock, perfect, big dealership, 2005 (limits financing options for those with top 5% credit if over 10 years old) subaru WRX with 34,000 original miles. garaged by previous 1 owner, unmodified.

well, as the saying goes, if you dont use it, you lose it. the water pump seized just over a year after i bought it, dragged belt over seized pump and melted off while driving, quickly. bent every valve and almost ruined entire engine. $2800 repair. absolute POS and in doing research after theres a lot of car people who advise not buying 'museum' vehicles. lesson learned.
