what? yeah right.

Hurricane damage on a car wouldn't exactly be hidden. Don't buy one that looks like it has been through a hurricane.

Flood? pfft. Maybe on the humid gulf coast at less than sea level like New Orleans or Mobile.

NC, SC, GA, Southern VA, FL, etc. cars usually look mint underneath. Sorry you live in CT, but don't hate.

i test drove 7 evo's before i bought this one...with a range of miles any where from 30k-to the one i bought with 146k...

the one i bought drove nicer, the trans not as notchy as the others, no whining from the t-case....

as long as you keep up with maintenance and fluid changes, it should last forever.
