[QUOTE="RBEmerson, post: 1443163, member: 91458"] We go with new cars. My FJR was new. The '03 K1200RS was used, bought from Hermy's (see above). Teething problems, etc. went to a dealer. Easy-peasy. The Concors C10 before the K, and the Honda C900 before that were used. The C10 had no surprises I can recall. The C900 was a semi-restoration, but I knew that when I bought it. All of that said, IMHO, if you were sold something complete with built-in surprises, not a lot of options for dealing with them. Yes, it might have been a bargain, but where's the bargain when you find out the tranny was filled with bananas or 100 weight lube to hide a very expensive chatter, etc. For me, thank you, no. Yes, there's an inherent "tax" for driving your shiny new Belchfire 5000 off the floor, and hearing the valuation drop off the back bumper. Either you accept it for knowing there's support if the motor falls out on the way home, or roll the dice on a private sale. Your choice. [/QUOTE]
