I traded in my totally loaded '06 Armada with 32,000 miles for an Enclave. We loved our Armada but the only reason we were looking for another vehicle in the first place is because we were close to running out of warranty. This made me think about how all the bells and whistles in these vehicles are affecting my purchasing decisions.
With power lift gates, moonroofs, DVDs, Navigation, AWD, 360 degree airbags, Stability control, Automatic air/heat, remote start, pivoting headlights, etc, etc, it is getty scary to think about owning something past its warranty. All of these bells and whistle are great until they stop working and then they are very expensive to fix. That really helped me pick the Enclave over its sisters due to the longer warranty.
When cars were simpler, that warranty didn't seem so critical. Anybody else feeling this way?
