There is no doubt that buying a used car has its advantages.  They generally cost less, so smaller loans make for fuller bank accounts, which translates to a happier you.  This is obvious.  But what about when it inevitably breaks down and the warranty is up?  At this point many a used car owner find themselves willing to pay the big bucks for a shiny new car that apparently doesn't break down. What are the options for the used car owner? 

1.  Forget about used cars and fork over the dough for a brand new one.  This will last for a couple of years if you're lucky, but alas, every new car becomes a used one once its driven off the lot.  Still, it is worth noting that most new cars come with hefty warranties, especially now that car dealers are dying to sell, sell, sell!  

2.  Get an extended warranty.  Here is a great list of how to buy an extended warranty for your vehicle.  

Many people are willing to fork over the extra dough to have the peace of mind that comes with driving a new car.  But that same peace of mind, at least in part (I mean who doesn't want a NEW car?), can be regained by purchasing an extended warranty.
