It ain't unique. It has a fair amount of mileage on it, too. Do you
know its service history?

Warrantees don't protect you from trouble; they only pay for part of

I badly wanted this car for a time but just couldnt get myself to buy the
thing. I actually bought a loaded honda accord with navigation instead. Its
not a mercedes, but it is hasnt had a single problem of any kind.
