Things like this thoroughly entertain me while I am at work and not busy.


Everyone puts in their "opinion" and as soon as someone disagrees with that said "opinion"... BOOM.

Now it becomes a contest of forcing said opinion down the other person's throat.

At some point, one/both party will switch to swearing. One/both parties will resort to attempting the discredit the other party through grammar and spelling (which though I appreciate correct grammar and spelling, it's not really relavant.)

Then, one/both parties will throw out the "expertise" through the process of having X amount of degrees, X amount of experience in building cars, etc etc.

Then it derails where one/both parties try to make snide comments that really have no relevance to the topic/arguement. Then it leads to something completely off-topic where the new snide comment only makes sense to the party that posted it. This infuriates the other party while the rest of the bystanders just scratch their heads and wonder why it even matters or pertains to anything.

Then the whole thread goes off topic... Just ignore them. The guy who tried to argue with me, I just throught "sick. Dude trying to argue with me on the internet. We're clearly going to disagree due to it being an opinion. I'm done." When I stopped responding, he took to PMs. Then when I ignored that, he went away.

Going back on topic, the risk is yours to make. With 79 miles on it, I don't think that there will be too much wrong with it. Though if we assume worst case scenario of grinding gears and keeping the car at redline for all 79 miles, then it could be bad. However, there is a RPM limiter.

My opinion is that you should test drive it and pay very close attention to how the transmission feels and if you hear any weird noises. Don't let the dealership sales person distract you with talking. Just focus on listening and feeling for anything that is out of the norm.

But here is the big key thing that I will say...
If something like this really bothers you, then it will sit there and linger in the back of your mind. In that case, it may be better to wait and just get an "undriven" car. That way you'll have that peace of mind and it won't be nagging you all the time. Of course that's if it bothers you that much.
