I understand where your comming from with buying a company car but id rather have the beat up V with a 100K warranty then a brand new one with a 50K...because ill be 2 years into payments on the new one with no warranty. Im no angel behind the wheel myself, I am super fanatical about maintenance but we all know and fear a random catastrophic failure.
I bought my V1 as the third owner. I spent the last 10 months with the V in and out of the shop for all sorts of stuff. Wether or not the car was new, things happen...for as guy like me who puts miles on a car it only makes sense to get into a CPO.
What if major mechanical issues arise with this car like the V1? I can only see this car as extremely expensive to repair...blower rebuilds on low production motors, transmission rebuilds...hell, im gonna do burnouts with my V2...hopefully I can finally do that again without worry about grenading my diff or looking like an ass with all that wheelhop...but if it happens im covered for 100K..and I wont own the car past that.
Im a Critical Systems Operating Engineer so not much gets past me...shouldnt anyway. Ill know if the CPO car was horribly abused...however, I dont think theres anything wrong with a GM manager laying a couple strips in the shoprite parking lot...in fact I encourage it.
