I'm not sure I'll ever buy new again--no matter the brand. They lure people into a false sense of security with warranties, but then everything is a fight to get it fixed.

I just can't see paying a six year note on a $40K or $50K car, only to have stuff break anyway and it's a 50/50 shot it won't get covered. And if it does, it takes a week to get an appointment and another week to get fixed.

I'll take my $7000 car with 100K miles on it, and my $4000 car with 240K miles on it. At least I expect things to break on them now and then. And when they do, I can usually have them fixed in the driveway in a day or two with a little help from the FSM or YouTube. While I'm fixing one, I drive the other. And if it is too serious to repair, I scrap it and get a new one. There are some really nice used cars out there if you can find one that is well taken care of.
