How many miles/km were on the car when you bought it?
Had only 18 miles on it when I got it, but it was in a minor accident. Could have been an honest accident (hellish December in Canada + summer tires + 330hp + rwd) but more realistically I am guessing one of the dealership's employees did a burnout on the slightly icy roads and crashed it right as it came off the truck. I got it at about 3k less than the next best available price and had it fully inspected at a third party shop.

I set aside $1500 for a new clutch/flywheel right as I bought the car.
