Stay away from extended warranties. No matter how good the dealer or anyone
else makes them sound, they are a rip off. There are more loopholes in
those contracts than there are holes in swiss cheese and they cost an absurd
amount. Those things are meant to prey on the fears of people and *never*
pay to invest in. Take the money you would have been paying for that
extended warranty and put it in the bank every month. By the time you're
ready to replace that car you'll have a nice little downpayment for your
next car. Or... you'll actually have the money to repair the car at a
fraction of what the warranty would have cost.

I like your approach - at least you're not drooling to get this car, no
matter what.

Cool. I have a Terry C. McInturff Glory Standard, a Taylor 710CE, and a
Jackson that I've tweaked a bit - not even sure what the model number is.
It's a fat-strat configuration.

Hmm my research indicates that it's a good idea to get an extended
powertrain warranty on off warrantly Hyundai's. I'm sure there are
extended warranties that are scams, just like there are used cars that
are scams.

Well... you might be as wrong as mud Chris, but it's no matter. The Les
Paul is nice, but anyone that still owns a 70's Ibanez gets a lot of room.
I regret the day I got rid of my '75.

I was about to buy a nice beat-up old vintage guitar on ebay and fix it up,
but i can't get a car and guitar. And no car means no girls. I dont care how
much attention i get with guitars, i want to drive around town and get some
respect...

Couple of guitars and a set of wheels and a fella is off 'n runnin'. One or
the other of 'em is bound to attract a girl or two. Though... the car is
probably more likely to draw 'em in. Plus... the car has a back seat for -
oh wait, you're a young fella - you don't need to be knowin' 'bout that
stuff.

hatchback they do fold down.
