Well, lets not get carried away. They don't make TONS but certainly more than a Murci. Someone on this board will know exactly how many they make each year and how many in total! And yes, cost of service is one thing, but if you don't live near a dealer, the cost to get the car there and back could easily be $500. Just one more thing to think about. And always get a PPI, better safe than sorry. Don't stretch to buy one - you'll learn to hate it if it costs you every penny to maintain.
