1. my 08 128 with about 64K miles that I've had for 12 years. Other than tires & brakes-only 1 repair in it's lifetime [OFHG]
2. My new to me 06 BMW 330xiT 6MT imported into Canada from Germany. Driven home 900 miles from sea port w/o any issues. Week after home, passed safety w/o any work needed [at a BMW indy with 60 years of experience]
3. my sons about to be purchased 2014 Subi Crosstrek w/150,000 miles. 1 owner, impeccable maintenance records, 20 oil changes in 9 years, expect it to easily pass inspection.

Look for another car-they are out there
People obviously have different personal definitions of “maintained.” As soon as I opened the hood I found obvious problems (OFHG, power steering reservoir wet) but the PPI found far more including struts and other chassis components. I trust this dealer service dept.
