hahah. i was pretty lucky with mine. im the fourth owner but the second owner had it for 27 years and was a old lady. the third guy had it for 3 months and then got a 1000 coupe and needed cash so sold the dato. this is all vertifiable (i saw the ad that the old lady put it and im mates with the last guy). pretty sweet for what i paid.
