Interesting, watch a video that said to look for a worn brake peddle indicating that they driver had done a lot of stop & go driving which is harder on the vehicle.
I guess that is in line with your comment about hrs vs. miles. You can spend a lot of hours in a commuter vehicle. Though it seems to me that would be preferable to a vehicle that has been used to tow a 5th wheel for example?
Should I avoid cars with trailer brakes and 5th wheel rails in the back? It seems people are always trying to tow more than they should!
