My headgasket went just out of warranty at 40K. I was pissed when the dealer said tough luck and offered me $5000 for it. I then took it to another dealer who said there was an extra warranty on the head gasket because of problems and they replaced the motor with a brand new one off the assembly line for $100. I immediately traded the car in to that dealer for $10,000, it was still cherry but with a brand new motor. I was just gun shy for that to happen to the first new car I ever bought. I figured with that luck I might as well stick with used!
