Yes, sad. In addition, few actually do any research on what warranty or the laws actually are - it is far easies to moan about the injustices on a forum...
Oh I miss understood ,thanks
This is not being conveyed well - I like having a warranty too and own my new-ish car/title in hand. But it's not the primary reason I bought my car nor does the length/time of a warranty impact my buying decisions. If my Sportwagen had a 2/24 vs. say some other like-priced car with a 6/72, I would have still bought the Sportwagen. I've read post were folks are essentially saying "I'm mainly getting this car for the warranty".
The majority of the time/mileage that I've cars since I started driving (31 years) have been outside of any new vehicle/manufacturer warranties (I've only bought 3 new cars personally, add wife and that's 2 more). The most expensive single repair I've had was on our '06 Honda Odyssey with 120K for a new steering rack - $1,200.
As one could about a GTI.One could make a pretty legitimate argument that buying a new bmw or porsche with cash is dumber than fixating on a warranty.
No wonder you're not worried about warranty, you've had great luck, haha.
I would argue that that is the norm actually. If it wasn't, extended warranties would cost much more than they are sold for and manufacturers would offer much shorter ones. Keep in mind, that was my most expensive single repair but I've certainly had strings of ~$500 repairs in a single year on older used cars. Also, most of the cost of ownership is in maintenance and wear items that aren't covered anyway.
