Currently in the market of buying a sub 5k performance car (Mondeo ST220/Civic Type R etc.).

A lot of sellers I have called have only owned the car for less than 12 months. These are specialist cars (relative to standard models), so my spidy senses tell me there could be something wrong with the car which is why the owners are not holding on to them.

Would you buy a used car that has been owned by someone for less than 12 months?
