So, were auto prices just too high?

I salute all of you that are willing to deal with car repairs. I hate them. My first car, acquired in 1984, was a 73 Chevy Nova. Ironically, in spanish, Nova means "doesn't go". Spent so much freakin money on it and it never did work that well. So now I buy new with 7 or 10 year warranties so I don't have to pay for it. I've found it to be worth it. We got a 10 year warranty on our Hyundai Santa Fe (purchased three years ago) so that my then 8 year old could have it when she turned 16 and not have to have car repair bills for a couple years still.

I think quality has increased, though, in how cars are made. They offer the extended warranties are dirt cheap prices anymore because the cars simply run well and last longer.
