If you get a 2011 zcp you get the cool rims, 4/10 inch lower ride height, adjustable edc, 2 years on the warranty. It might be overpriced, but I am really glad I got this car and would do it again in a heartbeat.
This makes no sense, any used car can have a history of abuse (or good care for that matter), whether it is two years old or five. And I'd rather buy a car that is five years old that was tracked occasionally by somebody who who performed the right maintenance than a newer car owned by somebody who didn't give a shit. Each car needs to be look at individually.

OP, have a look at the service history/owners, do a PPI and get a decent price (I would think something sub-$40k would be a good price.)
