I would call this a pretty fair deal. The price is about on market and
the mileage is low for a four year old car. Everything I've seen of
the C70 seems to be OK. Personally, I avoid turbos but that's getting
more difficult over time and is a personal preference.
I last bought from a dealer 30 years ago but that's really because I
have found everything I needed elsewhere. I *truly* appreciate your
suspicions of used car salesmen.
On balance, buying from an authorized dealer gives you a strong hand
in dealing with warranty issues since you have the vendor behind you.
As a final thought, I would check with the guys in Austin to see what
they have but, all in all, I would feel fairly comfortable proceeding
with either vehicle.
