I have 2. A 2007 Jaguar S Type and a 2016 Mercedes E350. Both paid for. Keep them up and both have low mileage. They’re not going anywhere soon. Probably my last 2 cars.
We have an excellent extended warranty program through Lexus that covers everything except normal wear and tear items. We drove it to San Diego last spring and the battery went tits up. I took it to the local Lexus dealer expecting to buy a new battery. They actually replaced it free of charge.
The F-150 is maintained by me and I have been able to fix anything that it needs so far. I periodically look it over to see what can be the next issue with it. I am planning on replacing the A/C compressor in a few weeks because it’s the original one. Staying ahead of things that could be a problem has always served me well.
