What's wrong with Civic Sport...? Why VW ?
In my high-school days my parents give me my 2007 jetta gli fahrenheit:number 07
Scotty got a new car and it's a VW with turbo. He never would have done that when he was still alive. RIP, Scotty.
He didn’t say he got it, his customer bought it.
good one ********
@@jimdriscoll9404 you know that Scotty kilmer's customer is supposed to realize along with his friend about Volkswagen and Audi and Porsche is the truth Audi and Porsche and Volkswagen are the worst retarded German car brands because they have shitty quality resale value etc especially if some of their vehicles are used and 23 years old they do tend to fall apart in case you didn't know Volkswagen owns Audi and Porsche because they are from the same country as each other that being Germany but the truth is I'm born in the United States of North America and i don't believe in having a German car in my possession for transportation in North America let alone shitty quality so for the love of God stay away from German cars and SUVs and British cars and SUVs and Italian cars and SUVs in the United States of North America that is my advice to anyone who is born in the same country as me North America so please do understand that mate
@@jimdriscoll9404 Read the headline again. "I" Finally Got a new Car. Who is "I"?
He’s risen
scotty sounds like a closet VW fanboy, i respect it
I think they’re growing on him! 😂 👍🏼👍🏼
He is not. How many times did he say, get the extended warranty??? Lol.
Scotty is just another SUCKER for cheap things.. 💵💵😄😄😄
he loves affordable cars
I don't trust anybody's warranty. It's basically a promise from the guy who made your car that he'll fix the car (at no extra charge) that wasn't built correctly in the first place because they were trying to make as much profit as possible. Not the best foundation for a great relationship.
Well there's more to repair of a vehicle than the cost, there's also YOUR time and effort taking/towing your vehicle for repair, especially if the dealership is not within a convenient distance from your home or workplace.
Real question is, is it worth your time and aggravation to deal with a problem vehicle, even under full warranty?
The warranty is only good till 100 thousand miles. Most people will put that mileage on in 7 years. Right after the 100 thousand mile is when it will start breaking down. If a car can't make it to 100 thousand without a extended warranty you should walkway.
Well, there are bigger problems than this. 1) while the car is under repair, you need another vehicle to get around in (unless it's specifically stated in the agreement), so if it's a big job that takes weeks, you're car-less for that time. and 2) oftentimes, they use refurbished engine/tranny components to fix cars under warranty, so that's another possible problem.
Call me frugal or practical or cheap or whatever but as far as a new car I would have bought a Mitsubishi Mirage G4, already comes with a 10 year/100k mile warranty on the powertrain, no extra charge and the car costs $17k new. Of course it's no performance car, in fact it's a lot like driving a sewing machine. But it sips gas and at my age I'm not in a hurry to get 6 feet under anyway.
Factory warranties are the best, to be honest; they come with the car. Many vehicles, particularly luxury ones, are equipped with high-tech components like sensors and cameras, which are susceptible to malfunction over time. If something breaks, it can be costly to repair or fix. That's why we get a warranty. But if you're getting a non-luxury car, such as a Toyota, Ford or something along those lines, then warranties are not really necessary. It all depends on the type of vehicle manufacturer, the car's caliber, and whether it is luxury or non-luxury. BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Lexus, Cadillacs, and Tesla are more than likely going to need a warranty for these cars because they are heavily dependent on the dealer's technicians.
130k on a 2013 GTI, manual, tuned. No issues except paint chips and one minor leak at 100k that was an easy fix. Just don’t change the oil at 10k like they say, every 5k, and let things warm up and cool down…
'15 Sportwagon 1.8 TSI SE. Auto.
Just regular maintenance.
72k, no problems.
Love it.
2017 Jetta TSI SE 150,000 just regular maintenance, no problems
2017 GTI, 57k miles, no issues (yet)!
Touareg 2009. 241 K. Still solid. 😊
@@carlosgraphic Lucky, because those Touaregs have a legendary reputation, sadly. But glad for you!
My first car was a Beetle. No radio, questionable heat, windshield washer was powered by the spare tire, and hand- crank windows. It was the greatest.
At 55 MPH it sounded like you were taking off for the moon.
I remember those tin cans.
72 super beetle new 2400 Canadian. Great little car. Super in snow. Easy to work on. Also haad a beater ghia,, a 411 or 417 station wagony thing 25.00, a 92 golf gti and a 94 jetta. No complaints. Learned to do brakes, cluches, timing belts, seals, heater core in jetta (not fun), suspension. All doable at home.
My Karhman Ghias engine blew shortly after I bought it, my dad rebuilt it for me, I got it painted, and then I rolled it off a hillside road.
Mine only had heat if you reved the engine if you weren't moving.(in traffic). There were heat tube's that crumbled and heat channels that rusted holes over time. I always had an ice scraper for the inside of the windshield as it would frost over from people breathing. It was great in the snow, and seemed like you could fix any problem for $10 and a 13 mm wrench.
@@77Infidel I, also use the ice scraper trick. You would steer with one hand and scrape ice off with the other. Good times!
I have 124k miles on my 1.8t tuned 2016 Jetta. Never had any issues and have always been on top of maintenance. Great little cars!
I have 120,000 miles on my mk7 gti. No extra warranty, bought it in 2015. Stock motor with performance parts and tune on it. Runs great still!
I bought an automatic 2024 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Autobahn trim model at the end of April that looks almost identical to this one.
I went from a rusting Pontiac G6 from 2008 to this, my first VW and it was definitely something to get used to. So much tech and modern conveniences with this model and honestly, I absolutely love mine so far.
Yes, I'm aware maintenance and repairs won't be cheap but as said in the video, it's super nice to drive and comfortable. I will definitely be getting new tires come winter though. The stock ones are rather poor.
Appreciate the take on the car, in any case. Thanks for the video, Scotty.
Hey Scotty! 2018 GTI with the same engine, EA888 Gen3/Revision3. No oil burning, I change my oil every 4-4.5K miles, tranny oil every 40k, sparks every 30k along with all other ancillary maintenance. No issues so far and runs like when I got it new! Oh.. and mine is also made in Mexico! 75k miles so far.
Is it still a German car if
Made in Mexico
@@chevy4x466 Yes. Engine made in Gemany. Transmission too. I have a 2016 GTI. Very solid car. Burns no oil. I maintain it properly.
Sounds sweet; that must be fun to drive. Keep taking care of it and I’m sure it’ll last. I had made a comment about my VW burning oil, but it’s also 24 yrs old with over 200k and otherwise runs great. ‘Made’ really means assembled. Every OEM part I’ve replaced was stamped made in either Germany, Poland, or Ukraine.
It is scotty kilmer he tends to make stuff up to proove a point that doesnt exist. And yes the gen3 ea888 is very reliable and takes 330hp in golf r so 228 in a jetta gli isnt much for such a durable engine
@@Demoxx1And the new EA888 evo 4 is even better with a new turbo and reinforced internals plus other improvements over the evo 3.
Thank you. Thank you for your continued support for the sedan!! It is not a dead technology. It is not a relic of the past.
I just bought a 2008 Acura TL with 66,000 miles and I’m happy, lol.
Its already burning oil at 6k miles wtf!😮
Even new toyotas burn oil, due to super thin 0w8/16 oils plus thin internals for lesser friction and thus better fuel economy.
It could be something like a defective PCV, and not necessarily an internal engine problem like rings. My 2017 GTI with the same engine uses no oil at 57k.
My 2024 Jetta blew its head gasket at 6500 miles
@@williamnguyen6258Sorry. :(
@@williamnguyen6258Yikes!
My 08 Passat 2.0T 190k just broke down today. Broken timing belt. Throughout the years it’s just been nothing but little annoying issues but as far as im concerned the drivetrain itself was dead reliable up until this point. As long as all fluids are topped off regularly and all maintenance performed on time you should be golden. Besides, most if not all modern cars are made cheaper these days.
New cars shouldnt burn oil at 6k miles, that’s kinda nuts.
Our truck at work are even worse the 2023 Freightliner Cascadia, we had one had a engine blew up.
@@thetapheonixall new turbo cars will burn oil, I don’t care what anyone says, every new turbo car burns oil.
So you went 190k without ever replacing the timing belt?
@@Cristian121212100 I replaced it at 120k but the new one didn’t last nearly as long.
I have a 7 year old honda CRV and have never added oil except at the oil changes. No other issues except for a recall on the shift lever but honda replaced for free.
My 2014 Jetta GLI with 300k miles has ZERO broken plastic parts.
Beautiful car. Love the manual and ACTUAL a/c buttons , not just screens all over the place.
Don't buy a Chrysler then. All screens I hate it. Give me a radio with damned buttons!!!
If they start breaking after 10 years then I must’ve gotten lucky with my Jetta. Mines a 2014 Jetta SE with a 1.8 L turbo four-cylinder, attached to a six speed automatic. And I’ve had zero issues with it.
And the cherry on top is, I’ve only changed engine oil. Never change, brake fluid, power, steering fluid, coolant, or transmission fluid. And never had a problem.
i had a 2019 Jetta GLI, no issues. I never drove off without letting it warm up and even had a stage 1 tune by Unitronic and it did not burn oil after the tune. I traded it in for a 2023 GTI, it also has a Unitronic stage 1 tune and no issues not even buring oil. I change oil after 5k miles.
I have a 2020 VW Tiguan and it's 4 years old, bought it new and never had any problems ...
150 k miles on my 2015 vw Jetta and haven’t had any issues at all. Then again I don’t have a turbo 💯👍🏾
I’ve got a 2014 with 184k that IS turbo and it runs perfectly
@@brandonwaddell2583 u must be maintaining it really really well
I got 114k miles on my 2016 Jetta. No problems either! I love it, and the 1.4 tsi has been great. I’m getting ready for my second a/t fluid change and replacing my timing belt, just in case.
Always an exception to the rule.
I had mine 274000 km 2 clutches, brakes front disc 1x change. Good maintenance, turbo was on his last breath i sold it. But i can say it was a good car. Alot of room but bad quality doors. Handeling very good
Being without a vehicle due to warranty claims can give you some serious headaches. Ask Kia owners when that plastic turbo pipes crack
My Toyota came with hankook snow tires when I got it (used but tires new) my wife got around great in the Michigan winter. I was impressed. Not the longest lasting but winter tires aren’t.
Basically The Old Toyotas Are Good Quality.
And The New Toyotas Are Getting Bad Quality .
VW's are designed for a northern European climate. They are brilliant in the environment and last for years. I for one have never had a problem with German cars.
Interesting concept
Neither has Scotty, he is just American and like all Americans they think their cars are better than European cars which they are not.
You're talking the Big three brands and the People who own those Cars, Most of the big three are Definitely Not American made, The last time I checked the Ford Ranger was the Most American made and Hardly Nobody even owns them, Personally I like our American made Ridgeline with a German 9sp ZF transmission such Smooth Shifting transmission and ride.😁
From The Netherlands I can say that my '08 GTI mk5 manual transmission is still running strong. It has 196500 km (123000 miles) on it and no big issues besides a new battery 😂 And changing the oil every year😉👌
Also you Europeans don’t drive everywhere like Americans have too. So your arent putting 100,000 miles on your cars in 4-5 years. So yeah they would be more reliable.
I've got a 2018 VW Tiguan with the 2.0L TSI EA888 Gen3 B-Cycle engine that has only 31,000 miles on the odometer. No oil issues, thankfully. Oil is changed every six months any way using LiquiMoly.
2018 Golf AllTrack and zero issues so far. 2016 egolf and so far we have never taken it in for service and it costs $15 bucks a month to run. So we are quite happy with both vehicles.
I remember the old Jettas when they were the boxy bodies in the 90's. My old neighbor had the Corrado, and that was a great car. He told me that VW made some of the best clutches for a standard transmission.
Very happy to see it's a 6MT model
I got a Jetta GLI 2017 , manual , with 122k miles on it and 0 issues , I had a Camry before and I had issues all the time with the transmission, I’m thinking about buying a brand new GLI , I love my VW
ZIPPY… a car video about a ZIPPY car that really moves ZIPPY fast and it makes ZIPPY speed when you step on the ZIPPY pedal that doesn’t require ZIPPY premium gasoline
I’m still sitting happy with my 2015 mini cooper s. Picked it up certified pre owned in 2018 with 15k miles for 17 out the door. Absolutely zero problems with the thing besides when people laugh at me when getting out of it👍
i have a 2014 jetta with the same engine the 2 liter turbo ea888 engine and since buying it i had zero major issues mind you i maintain the car and do engine flushes every 3rd oil change using quality filters and oil / other than than rums smooth as silk
My 1990 nissan hardbody door handle just broke in june..
....what junk..only lasted 34 yrs...still runs great
2015 GTI here, 187k miles. My PLASTIC intake manifold is dtill holding 32 psi of boost through an EQT vortex XL hybrid turbo. I'm full bolt ons on e85 with multiport injection and thr only issue I've had was my water pump cracked 2x. I drive over 200 miles a day
I had a VW Dasher diesel 2 door. Extremely rare but unique!
Please do more Volkswagens! Perhaps a tiguan
Hankook tires has done a lot for Clarksville Tenn
I would recommend putting some type of engine flush inside the cylinders that will burn off and let it sit overnight and then go ahead that should loosen up the Rings piston rings then use some seafoam or some type of cleaner to clean the inside are back side you some type of ultraviolet leak finder in the crankcase and use an ultraviolet light to Source out the leak if it's a seal or valve cover? On the back of of the valves
I like my 2017 jetta. 127,000 with no problems so far. I do maintenance as required and put in Amsoil recommended for my car
I can make it from lA to Utah with half a gas tank... My car has turbo over 1400000 miles no oil problems i just make sure to keep up with maintenance.
6k miles, man that's got a lot of issues for almost brand new
Should have ZERO issues during that time.
volkswagon
Made in Mexico that's why.. My 2012 GTI made in Germany bought it at 75,000 miles and has 113,000 now still runs like a champion. Mind you the clearcoat peeling off on the roof couple of clearcoat bubbles on the hood and rear bumper is going to cost a pretty penny to fix, but all I've had to do is get the oil changed, set of tires and rotation and some little things filters and what not. *knocks on wood*
@@nicksttrs It's not just because it's made in Mexico, it's because it has to be cheap to sell and profit, Scotty said that too. Also, turbo is great, but the engine will wear faster, that's obvious. My Mazda3 2018 is also assembled in Mexico, and I've had 0 problems with the engine, it already has 48,310 miles on it. Major fixes until now: timing belt replacement, new tires, new back brake rotors, 2 front struts. Timing belt and the struts were covered under warranty. I drive that thing "spirited" with sport mode activated 90% of the time.
I own a 2020 model, 30k miles so far and no repairs needed. At 30k miles, I don't expect any repairs needed either. These should be mostly reliable. It's a crap shoot with the water pump though. Some go 100k miles on the original pump, some only make it to 20k...
I bought a brand new Jetta in 2018 because it was $19,000 at 0.99% interest. They’re just fun to drive. I admit I bought the warranty, too, lol. I’ve had no mechanical issues in six years, though. It was even simpler, though - 5 speed manual and no push button start, minimal tech. That said, the touchscreen can be a pain.
I had extended warranties for my 2 VW's. Thank God!
A great warranty never makes up for poor quality. No one loves having to bring their car into the dealer for the umpteenth time because the car is a POS.
i own a 2015 VW Golf with over 200,000 KM with no issues. Do your maintenance and any vehicle will last. Neglect is and your asking for trouble!!
Especially VW's look after them and their good.
My plain 2024 manual jetta base is solid for 23k out the door. Its a good value for the money he can hate all he wants.
These EA888 have been in the market for about 15 years and are pretty reliable now. Reliability wise, It’s better spend a little extra for a GLi than getting a 1.5.
Scotty always being honest and with a great sense of humour.
Thanks for sharing Scotty !!
All brand new engines will burn oil in the first 10,000 MI now that the EPA is requiring higher miles per gallon manufacturers have to switch the piston rings to low friction piston rings which allows more oil to be burned in the combustion chamber but seeing how Scotty is such a professional and noses stuff he probably forgot to mention that in this video
They save lives the one reason I like vw I was tboned at 55 mph I walked away without a scratch bruise or break, so vw may be expensive to send in for work but cheap to work on yourself just a complete pain to work on.
Almost 100k on my 2019 v6 Atlas. I’ve loved every minute of it and haven’t had a problem while doing regular maintenance.
Ah yes, the VR6 3.6L. Excellent engine. Will last well over 250k miles easy if not much more.
VW does good up to 150 160k, then they fall apart... I owned a VW GTI for around 6 years
Garbage
@@jonathangonzalez327 I had a coworker who had a Passat, great up to 100k miles, then he couldn't keep it out of the repair shop. No thanks.
VWs handle so much better than Toyota and Honda.
But don’t last
@@gmanbaz Life is short why drive boring cars.
@@cliffpeterson8430 Then I'd rather have a Chrysler 300 Hemi Awd if I'm going to buy junk.
@@lonniebeal6032with a little tune on a GLI that Chrysler gets gapped all day.
I really can't comment on driving a VW, but my 15 Si handles like a dream. One of the best handling cars I've driven and own, not the "fastest" given I think its 205hp? Not sure of the whp of the top of my head buit damn is it fun and reliable.
I’ve owned several VWs. I am still a fan and still looking to buy a new GLI this year possibly. Thing is there was a 2012 2.0 Turbo Tiguan in my home, and it lasted exactly 10 years running perfectly. One day the turbo died, and replacing it was not worth it. We replaced that with another Tiguan, the newer one with the 1.4 Turbo. I am skeptical about the GLI because it is the 2.0, but still, almost every vehicle is a turbo now so I guess it does not make a difference, and I’ve always liked the GLI
165000 miles on a 2004 gti manual no major issues expect coolant leak
My 1st car was a Jetta. I loved it. I got it in 03 and it was an 01. Beautiful pearl white, and I hate whit cars lol. But they are definitely expensive to fix.
$28,000 for a GLI! How? I paid $32,000 for an SEL which is one below the GLI
u must be Canadian
That’s a base GLI. It has cloth seats and no sunroof.
Is yours an automatic or a manual like this one?
Had a Jetta and it was fun and zippy. Got rid of it as soon as it began to break down. One thing most uncomfortable seats for the front.
I also changed my synthetic oil on my jetta at 5k im at 7k miles now 10k miles is too long of an interval. I also run premium in it whether it requires it or not. I also put techron in once and do it every oil change at the oil change i rotate tires as well.
I have the similar 2 year old engine and it doesn't "sip" oil. If you red line engines or over rev in gears of course there's something going to go wrong. Judging by his MPG he's doing that..
My Volkswagen story: I bought an ‘85 GTi brand new…back then they were made in Pennsylvania and I drove that thing until 1999 with a 176k on it. Had two major issues - the heater core went out around 1990 (don’t remember the mileage) and the transmission went out at 156k on a move from Colorado to California - had to tow it back to Salt Lake City and a local V-dub shop dropped a used tranny in it - I flew back from San Jose to SLC to pick it up when the work was done. Other than an oxygen sensor, it was all oil changes and tire rotations. Every time I washed it I had to break out a phillips head and tighten down all the interior trim pieces.
I have a 2013 gli , and it's been trouble free ,except for the intake valves getting carboned up ,but hey Scotty un announced to me VW reimbursed me , I have 127 k on mine
GTI 380 with a 120k warranty is a bucket of fun...
Have a 2016 with the 1.4, gets over 40 mpg , 105k on odometer with no real issues.
I have a ‘16 also with 71k. A couple minor issues but I love the gas mileage and acceleration.
I don't know, I have a 2015 Jetta with 130k and haven't had any problems. I just now am going to replace the lower control arms because the bushings are wearing out. Also on the original brakes. And yes, I have knocked on wood after saying all this haha.
Not sure about the jetta's. Just put 80k miles on our 2019 atlas vr6. Been doing all the maintenance myself and so far (knock on wood) no issues! Ours was made in Chattanooga Tennessee. Maybe it's the turbo and the beat down that did his in, or the Mexican whahabbans...lol idk, if you know how to fix things VW ain't too bad...
I have a 2015 GLI. It runs great and has had 0 issues.🤷🏻♂️
i bought a regular jetta in dec 2023. why? because other car with similar price all come in cvt and jetta was the only car that had a 6mt.
That's like choosing between a fat ok looking girl or an ugly girl with an ok body 🤷
What about the civic SI ?
@@gmanbaz civic basic cvt is $26,790 cad. jetta 6mt $23,595. so... no brainer
Mazda 3
338k miles on my 2002 1.8t Jetta just basic maintenance. Manual with stage 2 tune.
I just think it is sad that the 40th anniversary edition comes without the sunroof and the black trim of the autobahn 2023.
Owned 4 vehicles with that motor. No oil burning. Must be beating it or not using 508/509 oil. Warranty would be void if taken to quick lube.
Tacomas are Made in México 2 Scotty, since 2005, reality check ....
Correct, however at least the technology is Toyota and even Scotty says he would rather purchase a car that’s made in Japan. Can’t blame him…
Yeah and they’re inferior to the ones made in Japan.
This is a fabulous car. Has everything you could want in a sporty sedan.
my 2019 S model got 68k miles and only had to do oil changes cabin engine filter swaps a coolant flush and brake pads and disks replacement andddd soon the serpentine belt but this car has given me ZERO serious problems
I’ve run Hankook tires on my cars before and have been extremely happy with them. I always thought they were decent tires, they certainly weren’t cheap!
I own a 2014 VW GLI with 115,000 miles on it. It's the most fun car I've ever own, and I have own several AUDIs. Very low maintenance and the interior is not cheap looking at all. The GLI is the best kept secret from VW, it's the same engine from the GTI at a lower price, with a huge trunk to carry anything you need. It's pretty well built in Mexico and it's faster than any Accord, Civic, Corolla or Camry!
The Jetta is not even bad. I hab my VW Polo for 14 years and 220k km and it still drove just fine and passed all inspections.
somebody bring scotty a mitsubishi mirage.
😂
😅😅
Don't know if the same applies to US Volkwagen's under warranty, but after 6 months of age perishables are not covered by the warranty. Some washers they have to use or a belt that needs to be replaced by another warranty repair presents you a bill in Europe...
I have a 2002 Subaru Forrester that I bought new in 2001 for 17k. If you do the math, that’s about $800 per year plus maintenance. A ten year warranty is great for 10 years. But if you keep a car for 23 years+, you want the car to be relatively problem free after that 10 year warranty is over. The only problem I ever had was with the front controller arm. It rusted through and broke while I was driving it. That wasn’t great, but I blame the mechanic I paid to rotate the tires every year for not noticing it as much as Subaru.
I know i got lucky with my GLI MK6 no major breakdowns, running a APR Tune, no major oil burn (1qt / month), catch can took care of the carbon build up, and 112k miles on it
The styling of next year's refresh is much, much better looking... in... my... opinion... ;-)
They burn oil new... For sure. Have a 2014 purchased new, so 11 years old this year. 125k miles. Replaced pcv valve at 90k for $100. 1 brake calipur... and brakes rear at 100k and front at 120k. That's it... even with all those plastic parts. Have the 1.8 litre turbo.
What kind of oil are you running? You never had any issues with the suspension?
Vw in the beginning. But 5W-30 penzoil...for most part, occasional Castrol if it was low and that's what was available.
Jetta GLi. ( Gonna lose income) taking care of it.
Its a "GLEE" you numptie
A VW mechanic once told me to Always get the extended warranty. Now if they could only make a decent water pump that you don’t have to replace every 30k miles or so.
110k on my 2016 Golf Sportwagen 1.8TSI (turbo 1.8) and zero issues. If you keep the maintenance up on them and change the oil every 5k or less you should be golden.
Why does the heading say "I Finally Got a New Car (and It's Not a Toyota)" Then all he is talking about is somebody elses car?
You new here huh?
289K so far on my MK6 Jetta 1.4t (and no rev-hang or stupidly low center a/c vents as the MK7 GLI).
I own a Vw Polo they are such fun cars to drive, and really cheap.
A car breaking down is inconvenient regardless of warranty.
I have a skoda tsi 14 years its a lovely cars with a leribit care
How's the new 2024 tundra recalled for the engine is blowing up
Parts are plastic on turbo charged cars to reduce heat soaking in the engine bay. Aluminum and iron holds heat longer and hotter than plastic does. Also cheaper to replace. I have a 2012 stage 2+ golf r and it’s been the most reliable vehicle I’ve owned. It’s been stage 2 since 2013. VW’s are very reliable but just like any brand they have their good and bad models/years.
I bet that car makes another 20-40 horse on 93, it said minimum 87 octane.
I had a vw 1982 rabbit
Diesel L. The last good vw they made.
55 or more per gallon of diesel.4 speed manual.
I have an Nline with a dct, it has a turbo. I find it runs better on 91 than 87 (I'm in Canada).
Mine is a manual also
Yes,,,buy the warranty as long as its transferable. 1900 is a great price for that warranty!
I would only do the warranty if it includes a loaner car.
