You don't know what the previous owner did to the damn thing

Exactly. Or *didn't* do when they should have.

Yeah. Plus there's a lot of problems that won't show up on any inspection.

Like I had a car a while back where on of the belt assemblies wasn't aligned properly (and couldn't be aligned properly, it was a manufacturing defect that affected the whole goddamn engine assembly). It was just a fraction of a centimeter off, but that was enough to wear the belt out unusually fast. I had to replace the damn thing every six months when it should have lasted for years. I took it to so many mechanics, and all of them said it looked fine.

That doesn't show up on an inspection. It doesn't show up in that car's history. It's not even something you'd notice until you'd had the car for years and figured out the pattern.
