I never buy new cars. I buy them used with 20-30,000 miles. They cost about 2/3 of the price of new ones. I use some of the money saved to get an extended warranty.

These are not lemons. The first car I bought this way is up to 208,000 miles. My son is driving it now. My current car would have been about $25,000 new, but I paid $15,900 for a one year old car with 20,000 miles on the odometer.

Both of those cars were former rental cars. My husband's truck was a formerly leased vehicle with 30,000 miles.

You are quite lucky! As someone who has been driving rental cars for over 9 years, they are the most beat upon cars on the road.
