I doubt that will save them right away, regardless. I've bought used vehicles for years.

Example: Bought a 2004 Navigator for $500. It needed new struts to replace the airbags, new CV shafts on the front, new front and back windshields and some engine work. Spent about $3000 total for a $6k bluebook value luxury car.

I watch Craigslist for really good deals and pounce on them. With my shed business, I wear out a 3/4 ton pickup every year pulling buildings. Cheaper to spend 3-4k a year on that than to buy a new one and have it in the shop for warranty work all the time.
