    I'm in the market for a used car and would appreciate thoughts on two questions:

    1. Should I care about getting a car with life left on the warranty (ie. If I buy a 2013 model, going with a Kia over a Honda because the initial warranty is longer, 10 years versus 5)?

    2. Or, would people recommend buying an additional warranty (ie. extended 5 or 10 year powertrain)?

    My brief research suggests that buying an additional warranty is rarely cost-effective, but would appreciate any individual wisdom here as well... thanks.

    Find a Sheriff's Sale/Auction...

    You can get luxury vehicles for cheap. You know, drug seizures and shoot.

    If you get lucky you might also find a stash compartment with a kilo of dope.

    Just hope the G don't get out of jail and see you in his old ride. That gets them angry.

    Warranties are only needed after you meet the terms. I think they're a waste.
    Buy New!
