Greetings all,

I've been looking at used STS-V's for about a month now, and found one that looks pretty enticing. The car is an '08 with 10k miles. I've got a couple questions before I visit the dealer tomorrow:

1) From Carfax it looks like this was some kind of GM-owned vehicle. In-Service date was 6/08, and on 12/08 it was sold at auction with a Manufacturer title. Should I run away from this car? (i.e. should I expect that it had the snot beat out of it for 10k miles over six months?)

2) Its my understanding that the balance of the warranty (basic and drivetrain) would transfer to me from the 6/08 in-service date. The dealer says they can Certify the car for $1,000. Assuming the factory warranty transfers to me, it seems like I don't really gain anything from a Certified warranty. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for any comments!
