In my honest opinion, Used or New car doesn't matter their is always a chance that you will get ripped off. First of all, all cars are made differently which is why the say there are american made cars and those oversees, if there even really made oversees?? Or America just bought out the name and are making them and saying yes this is an original BMW, Benz, Audi, etc.... But its probably not because its made from materials made here in the U.S. so now you might come across an actually car made from oversees and you see what it can do and you sit their thinking. I have the same model, make, and year car why can't mine do the same as this one?? The only reason why I even brought up if the car is American made or from oversees is because people value oversees car more than American made car because they have proven to take a beaten more than an American made car. Who really knows how accurate that is though, its really a hit and miss, big industries such as the automotive industries are always looking for ways to make money. So you'll pay the extra money feeling good and safe thinking I just bout a foreign car but how do you know for sure?? Trust me when I say all cars are a ripe off just buy a car new or used at a price your willing to pay. Because whats the value of a car really they all breakdown and there all always deemed good when they are running..
