Which way to go?

[Anker]

Buy one that has been loved.

Signs of love are:

1. Complete service record with no big misses on maintenance
2. Car is clean with no defects that haven't been repaired
3. Even niggly little things have been done, like sun visors replaced when doors have broken off
3. Owner has a good, plausible explanation why it is being sold
4. Owner is PCA member
5. Owner is on this forum

Lots more signs, but these are off the top of my head.

Good luck!
