Something like that is what I've always thought since the car was purchased as a "dealer Demo". I'm sure it was hit on one of those test drive or something like that, I know I could never have done such thing. What really sucks is that I'd never know that... Dealer would always hide those kind of incidents from customers / insurance.
I'll be doing some repairs soon...
Thanks!

YD
I did all the usual tests (like the ones you previously described) and they seemed fine.
