True. Never thought that way!

Mine was just under 15% off which makes the second hand ones actually dearer on the face!

Although as you say a bit of discount off the secondhand price sweetens things a bit, although considering the difference is probably only around say 2k from a new deal, it may be better to have the full 3 year warranty!!

I remember watching a programme , I think it was either top gear or 5th gear, they took samples from the carpet and steering wheels of used cars. They found all sorts, fecal matter etc.
