With the help of a lawyer and factual data on flawed drivetrain evidence I got rid of the truck without losing money luckily. Now I drive my 12 yr. old Q45 that I've had for 5 years while looking for "another" ride. I hate buying vehicles...I have money to spend but would just rather wait until my Q explodes and its ashes evaporate before I feel the need to buy another vehicle. So to get to the point...buy a vehicle and take care of it for 7-12 years and you drastically reduce the amount of vehicles you buy in your life while saving money. This is part of the reason my grandfather has a very large estate he's 75 and has only owned 3 cars which he still has and they all run.

Was even able to get extended warranties. Saved a lot of money and the cars look good.

I've done this a couple of times and I highly recommend it to my friends and family. It's easy to find a 1-2 year old car that is in near-perfect condition with low miles, still under factory warranty at a deep discount compared to an almost identical new model.
