These 3 quotes is what has me here asking this question that some of you probably think is pretty stupid. I won't know the history of a used car but will be spending thousands more on a new car that I will be beating on myself. Hard decision there. Lightning red is a very hard color to find, so it limits my choices by a lot. If I could go anywhere and get hands full of choices and decide "hey, this price looks good." or "Hey, this one looks like it was taken care of." then I could easily make a decision. Problem is I can only find like 2013's with 20k+ miles for $22k or brand new 2015 for $30k... huge jump!

This is the only reason why I am considering $30k on a new one. I'm way picky on what I want. The one I test drove was perfect, couldn't get better. Other than the price lol
