Wow! Hey TC (and everyone else), I hope your year only gets better from here on out.
Not trying to be preachy or anything, but one thing my dad taught me well was to always buy your cars brand-spanking-new (except for the "project" Cougar and T-Bird, obviously) if possible. There's no telling what the previous owner did with the car, even if everything seems normal. I remember on our old Mazda, we were changing the spark plugs when part of one broke off and fell into the engine. The car ran fine afterwards, but my dad spazzed out and traded the car in the next week because he felt something would be damaged for sure, and would manifest itself at some point down the road.
It's that kind of stuff that would make me wary of any used car - maybe the oil was never changed until it was sale time? etc. We've gotten burned a couple of times just like you were, so now our commuter cars are bought new. I'd rather have a brand new Hyundai than a used BMW. Can't put a price on peace of mind, the confidence you have in your ride, and the leverage you have against the dealership that sold you the car.
