My point is that a car which changes hands every year could be a problem child. Why would multiple owners dispose of this car so quickly? Being a special edition should give it a collectibility factor. But perhaps it’s just been a rich-boys toy all its life, but not likely.
Also, I wonder, does the “clean” Carfax show regular maintenance or nothing at all?
With the exception of tire shops my FRS hasn’t seen a mechanic since I took ownership. From purchase at two years old all maintenance and repairs have been done by me at home. Mostly over the winter while it sleeps in our heated garage/shop.
My Carfax should be spotless since I took ownership because I’m handy. Most owners don’t have my tools, facility and self-taught skills. Call it my hobby.

People who love their car take care of it. People who regret buying a car don’t maintain it. They dump it.

Sorry for the ramble.
