Personally, I would *never* buy a car from Pray again....they promised to
send me an air filter cover that was cracked when I took delivery of the car,
and the car had 1,200 miles put on it 10 days after I had first put on a
deposit! I had to keep calling the salesperson, and he never returned my
calls, sent letters - were unanswered, and finally, I had to talk to the
sales manager, who finally got the guy to send me the cover they owed
me....they were very nice when I put down the deposit on the car - obviously
so, as I paid a *premium* over other cars available, as this S4 (used) was
relatively *mint* - but it turned out to need: 

A new steering rack (only partially covered by AofA)
A new clutch (only now manifesting itself - throwout bearing)
A new valve cover gasket - leaking oil....

....which *none* of the S4's on the list have exhibited symptoms of! Anyway,
who knows what else will happen! I've already spent over $ 1,000 on the
car....and only driven 8Kmi on it!

This was after inspecting Pray's service manifest on the car (computerized
version), they wouldn't let me look at the actual records, as the previous
owner's name would be on them - but guess what? They left all the ID cards of
the guy in the owners manual!

Such thoroughness! (*Sarcasm*)
