Lynn,
Even new cars have problems. My brand new 1998 Volvo V70 Cross Country was riddled with problems from the day I picked it up. When I returned it at the end of it's 4 year lease, all of the following was done to it under warranty but just as inconvenient as a used car:
4 sets of front/back brake rotors (mild driving habits), rear coil springs, 2 sets of door locks, ABS computer module, headlight switch, valve gasket leakage, oil return leakage, CEM module replace (brainbox), 4 interior door panels replaces, engine motor mount replaced, bevel gear replaced, headlamp wipers replaced, driver main windows switch replaced, sunroof switch replaced, and a few other things too numerous that I can't remember.
Not bad for a car that cost $41,750. After the lease, I actually ran to give it back to them before it fell apart. So you see Lynn, all cars have problems whether you spend $100K or $41K.
