Okay, but no. What kind of car should *I* buy?

Buy a good pre-computer car. My newest vehicle is my 1990 Geo Tracker 4x4. It's like a mini jeep. Parts are cheap and they are so simple to work on. Same goes for the Suzuki Samurai

These are running around all over here in Baguio. They seem like exactly the right size for the roads here and have a 4x4 option that makes them good on the hills.

With gas running around $5 a gallon, the smaller engine seems like a good feature too.

And look at this, they're still in production today. $18,777

Thanks for posting that Jim. It's interesting.

So the higher the number, the higher the cost for a warranty?

What is this warranty? This is some sort of optional extra repair coverage you can buy? So if my coolant temperature sensor gets covered with crud and starts malfunctioning, causing the engine to stall, I can get it replaced for free?
