Point taken. The certified warranty is subject to the same restrictions as a new car warranty, therefore performing modifications, not performing scheduled maintenance, racing and abuse, accidents, vandalism, etc. could all void the certified warranty. I don't "beat" or race my cars, follow the recommended maintenance schedules, wash/vacuum and wax my automobiles regularly, and haven't modified any of them. Also, I keep the MP3 garaged and use sunshades for the dash/park in the shade whenever I'm out. I bought the MP3 was because it is so clean, hasn't been modified, has been well maintained, and is somewhat collectible. As such, it's been kept in the same condition.
There's no one car out there I'm ready to buy, but I'm narrowing down the field. Career will likely take me up North in the Spring, so I'm seriously considering some AWD cars, including some pre-owned VW R32s and Audi S4s (2.7T) and A4 Quattros.
For anybody interested in purchasing the car, I've decided to lower my asking price to $11,750 for quick sale. I'll be putting it up for local sale next week, so please let me know if you're interested, Shane. I'm actually much closer to Shreveport than Dallas, and don't mind meeting you somewhere in LA or in Houston, TX if you're interested in the car. In fact, I sold my MR2 to a cool dude in your part of LA last May.
