A good rate on a used car too? Is that at dealerships I assume?

What about taking over a lease? Is there any real benefit to that? Or are you just giving up on the best time of a car for no real benefit?

That's interesting, I didn't know that.

Though I prefer to sell my old cars privately anyway rather than trade them in.

Yeah I wish I'd got one for my Passat. Next car purchase if I plan on keeping it long like I did the Passat I'd go that route.

Are extended warranties transferable? I.e. would they increase resale?
