When we bought the new Focus last November, we decided that our first new vehicle should last us for 7 years and be paid off in 5 or less. The second part is easy but the first part required a bit of planning.
Friday, I extended the warranty to 7 years / 120,000 KMs. Now I'm completely not worried about a darn thing as far as the car is concerned.
I'm also re-considering an intake and might just go with exhaust / rims and tires.
I can appreciate everyone's apparent need to "upgrade" to a "better" car for whatever reason but for reasons that are entirely my own... I have no reason to buy a better car than the Focus.
Now let's just hope the paint cooperates for longer on this one. <_< Having said that, I'm feeling even more "cleaniness Nazi" about it and likely wouldn't hesitate to have parts re-sprayed.
