Default Never Buy a Used Performance Car from a Dealership!

I traded in my old '98 Mustang Cobra for a new '01 S2K back in late August. When I traded my Cobra in, it had 81,9XX miles. When I checked out my old car at the dealership this weekend (Scott Honda, WC, PA), it had 82,5XX miles. Nearly 600 miles have been put on the car by the dealership alone! In addition, the Dunlop SP-9000's that I recently bought for the car are almost shot in the rear, and that car wore the fronts and backs evenly. This suggests many a burnout.

This confirms my theory that buying a used car from a dealership is a bad, bad idea. When I originally bought my '98 Cobra in January, '99 with 10k miles, it had almost 500 unaccounted for miles at that time too.

I babied my old Mustang for 82,000 miles, and it hurts to think that punks have been beating the crap out if it for nearly 600 miles. Shame on Scott Honda for allowing employees to joy ride in used cars.

I wonder if they let the general managers drive your car around as their personal vehicle. It does suck that they treated your car that way. Thanks for the advice.
