Keep in mind also....... the original owner gets 100,000 mile warranty (in the US) while subsequent owners only get 60k, I believe.
Thanks. That's good to know about the warranty. I originally wanted an SE, but I rethought it and decided that the only thing that I would want that an SE has is the back-up camera. I can live without cruise control, and I certainly don't want push button start. I also prefer the "manual" AC. So I am leaning towards the ES now.
As far as used goes ... it's just a thought that I'm playing with. I admit though that I didn't take the warranty into account.
