What is your definition of asking for problems?
What is properly maintained all they do is change the oil. A careful car owner will do a better job than a oil tech all day everyday.
They slam the lug nuts on when they rotate the tires. They don't give two craps about using a torque wrench.
I just can't understand your opinion on this.
We can agree to disagree.

Though getting back to the warranty. If one changes their oil themselves but does not know enough to inspect things one could miss a potential bigger problem down the road. While the dealer guy would note it on his inspection sheet because the car is in for a warranty inspection. Warranty work is not just oil changes if you are going to a reputable dealer.
I think you have come to the conclusion you have come to based off bad experiences I understand and get . I am just showing you my side of the coin so you might understand my view better.
Also if someone presents a car to me with a stack of repair deals for the last 10 years say I am going to assume its well maintained.
Records , Records,Records. When someone tries to sell me a car and they say they did this and they did that with no proof its kinda scary. Unless they are a friend who is a mechanic and I know they did it.
Thats my perspective. Agree or Not its all good.
You are missing the point. I’m not saying that a well documented history is not a factor, it is absolutely is - especially if it’s a tie breaker. What I am however saying is that the level of due diligence is lower for a $20k car/purchase vs. a $80k one. You’re not going to call on an food inspector to check the patty on your hamburger you are thinking of ordering at McD, but you (well, me) would bring a reputable house inspector when you’re buying one, new or not.
Even McD’s has to pass, the are grades A , B, C, D, basically one would not enter anything with a C lol.
There is no such thing of having more diligence towards the rating of one restaurant or another.
Its the same with cars Just because a car cost 80k does not make it more important to make sure everything is right with it.
A hooptie driving down the street not properly taken care of can be an accident waiting to happen that could affect you as the hooptie might hit you in your precious 993. Boy would you be upset.
The guy in the hooptie is like how did I know its a hooptie I do not need to inspect or maintain it.
Thats using your logic see the flaw?
All cars no matter what price should be maintained properly . Its not I buy it and drive it and forgot about maintaining because its not as much money as my expensive Porsche.
Thats exactly the type of thinking that leads to the hooptie scenario.
So you keep up with the line of thinking that because the car costs more its more important to maintain it. Lol
