Buying an extended warranty will save you several hundred dollars. If you buy a 3 or 4 year old car that has run out of manufacturer's warranty, a used car warranty will protect you should you have mechanical failure down the road. Unless you have an extended warranty, you are exposed to potential large losses.
Purchasing a car without first driving it is never a good idea. Drive the car to assure there are no "Blind Spots". Make sure your comfortable with the equipment before making a purchase. Tip: Make sure a representative from the dealership goes on the demonstration drive to answer any questons you have about the car.
Ask yourself a few questions.
How long has the dealership been in business?
What type of reputation have they earned?
Can they provide service records on their pre-owned cars?
