I like your thinking taosx5, and I was thinking the same. The dealership said that mileage wise it would obviously qualify for the certified preowned BUT due to it's age it wasn't possible. It seems pretty solid and $3500 right now and the possibility of not even using the warranty doesn't seem all too logical. Guess I just needed someone other than my wifes input.

Definitely still interested in problems I may face within the next 40k though.
