Maybe you don't need to break them in easy, but give the owner the choice.

Strange you should say "beating the crap out of it"...I've had at least 30 new cars and never ordered one. I have bought some with 10-20 miles on them realizing someone must have driven them before me and not once had an issue with any new car. I wouldn't think of buying a new car without knowing how it performs and the only way to know that is to drive it as I intend to. Had the very mild performance run I gave this Mustang caused a break-down...guess what, no way would I have purchased it. I've never '"beat the crap" out of any car mine or otherwise and anyone who ever bought or otherwise obtained one of my used cars......got a great car. I guess I'm a spontaneous buyer who, when they decide to buy, want it now...lol. It would be hard for me to understand anyone shopping for a performance car that wouldn't drive it the way I do. When you test drive a new car, you don't punch it to find out it's performance potential?

Understanding your feelings on the issue, I suppose no one would ever buy a used Corvette and yet, they retain one of the highest retail used car prices in the world.
