just because the outside looks nice does not necessarily mean it was well taken care of. Hell my car looked great outside when I got it but it needed some work I wasnt aware of.

Thats the negative of buying used, buyer beware.

Yeah, but since they say "Harley" on them, you can't find one for less than $25k.
