I never buy cars with a balance of a factory warranty left. I hate the dealers that much. I rarely have good experiences at dealers, so I don't even bother with cars with warranties.

I like to buy with a bit left--at least powertrain--, but yeah I can see your point. There's a certain freedom and feeling of power when you know that you don't have to deal with the dealer.

thought about it ... all the troubles with it are nav / computer / electrical realted which is only covered with the most primo (read expensive warranties) .. around $3300 ... its all paid for ... and i will only keep it for another yr prolly ... sp in my mind i have justified absence of monthly payments = future service cost if needed ...
