He bought those thing at a much higher cost than even the most expensive repair on his old car would have cost. It seems a little moronic to worry about "expensive repairs" and use that as a justification to buy a new car. Either you're worried about money, or you aren't. (Resale value? Hahah. Drive the new car off the lot and the difference between what you paid and what it's worth is about a 3L Duratec installed....)
Not to mention his comments about putting up with Ford service--after the vehicle is out of warranty, I'm not sure why ANYONE would go to the dealership for service? My only dealings with Ford after the car goes out of warranty is to order parts. Bill Jenkins is a great guy to deal with so I have no problem with that.
