«Do you think that the non warranty repairs on the $10,000 vehicle are going to cost you an extra $700 per year?»
Hehe, the warranty on my '98 Contour expired at the beginning of 2000, here are the repair costs since then:
2000: around 1000$CDN (CV joint, tie rods, frozen E-brake cable, etc)
2001: around 680$CDN (O2 sensor, wheel bearing, etc.)
2002: nothing yet!
I haven't included regular maintenance or wear items like brakes; these were repairs made to parts that would normally be covered under warranty.
I'm not trolling or anything; I still like the car, and it's stabilized in the last 6 months, but the period from 60000kms to 100000kms was pretty, uh, eventful...
