Even a quality car needs a warranty I've told you how much better cars are than they used to be, and I've also told you how important it is to be able to have mechanical breakdown protection. You're not likely to need a new engine during the course of your policy, but if you do, it won't wipe out your savings account or max out your 16 percent credit card. Many warranties today also cover a host of minor items, some of which you are more likely to replace within two or three years of buying your used car. I have found that many people face expensive car repairs when they are least able to afford them. New cars are not statistically prone to have major breakdowns, but no one would think of buying a new car without one.
Used vehicles are no different.
Warranties also make it much easier for you to sell your car, and they allow you to sell your vehicle at a higher price. Whatever you pay for a mechanical breakdown policy, you will recover most if not all of its price if you sell the vehicle with a few months of warranty remaining.
