We did the extended warrenty thing, but it still wasn't long enough.
I know there are 2 sides to this issue. I always thought leasing was way stupid. I kind of think it just depends on what you buy, and how often you plan on trading up. For instance, I don't think I'd ever buy a new Benz with all I hear about them. I'd lease. Trade that sucker off before all hell breaks loose. But a Subaru or Toyota would probably be a decent gamble to buy and plan on keeping for 200k miles.(I see the flames a-coming
