Thats the main reason y i buy used cars.cause if it allready has a scratch or a dent its not as big of a deal if something else happens.but dont get me wrong i get pissed but i get over it cause my car isnt in perfect condition to begin with.plus i have a DD so the firebird doesnt go out much.i do keep both cars clean and usually wash and vacuum them both once a week and wax them once a month.
