You maybe bought a used car without having YOUR trusted mechanic "OK it" first? You thought that an "Extended Auto Warranty" would provide you with comfort and solace in your car's dotage? Now you know better! 1. Do NOT wander onto a car lot "to see what catches your eye". 2. Research what you PLAN to buy! Consumer Reports offers a wealth of reliability data on new & used cars by brand and model. They also offer car buying information to help you avoid a misteak... I mean mistake. 3. Have any used car you are considering checked out by YOUR trusted mechanic. You don't HAVE a trusted mechanic? Get one! See Cartalk/mechanics files for a mechanic near your ZIP code.
