It's a used car regardless of who owned it. Wanna bet those 6200 miles weren't the easiest on the car? It may even be a dreaded press car used for performance testing by the automotive press who, of course, are gentle with them. BTW: You can get a damn nice, new, zero-mile '00 BMW 323i w/sport package for the same $32K that the POS Pontiac will cost. Richard Davis wrote in message ... > >I went out looking for a new car.
