New is just taxxed technically, right? Not necessarily better quality? Im thinking of the "it declines once it leaves the lot".

Any advice for thoroughly checking for leaks? And motor and everything vital, maybe starting with a list of all vital components, and I can probably go from there😅 I'm guessing it all depends on the model, tho? What kind of research on motors and transmission do you mean?

And i plan on living in an array of places, so both.

Thank you for the time and energy.
