I’m surprised it took Toyota this long. Porsche has been offering something similar for a while: “Current model year vehicles and those of thirteen previous model years with less than 124,000 miles are eligible for enrollment.”

I think more manufacturers should push a CPO program like that. It shows they have confidence in the product and lets them sell the same car multiple times.

That's pretty much what a cpo is though. You're paying more to have it certified from the dealer with an extended warranty of sorts.

The certification process is mostly for show. You’re just buying a warranty. That said I’d only buy extender that way and never through a 3rd party

The certification process to my understanding is very similar if not the same as a yearly inspection. More if a is this thing gonna get someone killed or is it good for another year. Except for the certification it's more like 5 years or however long the warranty period will be

Some “certified” warranties add thousands to the cost of a vehicle and do not mirror the factory warranty. It can be cheaper in some instances to extend it via 3rd party

Not gonna lie, Porsche CPO is still the gold standard to me. It covers 2 years unlimited miles and you can even get fixes for non mechanical issues. Heated seats stop working? How about your 10 year old infotainment? Fixed.

I didn’t know their CPO was that good or stretched back that far. So you’re telling me that I could theoretically find a CPO 2015 Carrera 4S and drive the absolute piss out of it with no worries?

TheKebabMob@reddit

Yes. For at least 2 years lol. I think they extend it to 3 for $2k if you finance through them. Doesn’t cover maintenance but that’s normal. Case in point: I bought a 2014 Cayman S last year CPO out of Ohio. 2-3 months in the infotainment started restarting. Two visits to my local dealer and one text and they spent $6k replacing it for me.

They'd mumble around a bit and offer to get back to me. Two days later, they'd call back and we'd have *exactly* the same conversation again.

If you have complete ownership and 100% stake in an LLC then you control the LLC in entirety and own all assets. You just get all the benefits afforded to a corporation that you don't get as a sole proprietor. Corporate veil, tax implications, etc If you were a doctor might make sense to have your primary residence under an LLC to protect it from potential judgments from malpractice or whatever but it absolutely doesn't mean you don't own that house
View on Reddit #18790150

superspeck@reddit

That pierces the corporate veil and means that he would lose the liability protection, which would be stupid. If you go look up the owners of the LLC it’s probably either more than two other LLCs or at least three individuals and a bank. The jets are also probably leased and not owned.
View on Reddit #18796926

vhalember@reddit

Yup. Probably leased, and under an LLC that cost, and much of the cost of maintaining/using the plane is a business expense. You tax deduct all those costs away.... which very likely makes it cheaper than owning it.
View on Reddit #18798897

IsometricRain@reddit

Modern cars can easily last 30+ years though. And if you pick smartly, they won't depreciate nearly as much as a lease/subscription would cost. There's also cars you can buy that would have little to no depreciation in 20-30 years, if you just pick right (Cayman GTS/GT4 in manual, GR Corolla, etc.).

Wife's uncle needed a new transmission on his Palisade. It was at 200k and they honored the warranty, but not without a lot of hassle. He had the impression that they wanted him to trade it in rather than get the warranty work done, and appraised it low due to it needing a transmission lmfao

I've never dealt with Hyundai/Kia for warranties but reading these replies is at odds with my secondhand experience. The engine in my mom's Sonata blew up at 125k miles. It happened over 200 miles from home in the middle of nowhere. Had it towed to the closest dealer which was still like a 50 mile tow. Long story short, they replaced the engine at no cost and covered her expenses. Then again it's entirely possible she raised enough hell to get that done because she had a knack for that.

I feel like warranties today are practically useless. I have friends who have really made out on them and it worked out but it almost feels like talking to a gambler bragging about the large winning they just had while ignoring all the losses. They practically make you prove the work is needed or want you to go through a lot of steps to get there. If you are DIY or go to random shops for work then it becomes a hassle to prove maintenance has been properly performed.

TFareCool@reddit

I had a '19 G70. At that time all 5 "Genesis" dealers by me were still in Hyundai dealers. Service centers were all Hyundai ones. 3 of them damaged the car in some form. One took out a chunk of my side skirt on a lift, another didn't put a cover over the front fender so it came back with a bunch of wear scratches from techs leaning over it. The third one was a 6-8 inch scratch down my hood, I had them take it back to fix it, they valeted it back twice without fixing it and all in all for them to just fix the scratch it was at their shop for 2.5 months. They never fixed the rattles I had in the dash that could be heard over the radio after sending it in multiple times. Had 45+ minutes of video of it doing it, did a ride along and they heard it. Every time it got returned "couldn't replicate". I was friends of a friend with one of the techs assigned to it, buddy texted him and said he had my car up to 130 on the highway and even that and the radio couldn't down out the rattles, but marked it as non replicable due to warranty work paying our poorly. Had enough days in the shop to lemon the car over rattles that could've been fixed with foam. TL;DR: not very different than a normal Hyundai Kia experience save for 1/4 the time the loaner you get is another Genesis product (even though the sales contract specifies both valet service and a Genesis brand loaner).

There are EVs sitting in huge lots not getting shipped anywhere because they’re not selling. The EV market and concept is a joke. States don’t have the power to supply the EVs out there now, not to mention the amount of money it takes to build charging stations. Some states have to have rolling blackouts because of air conditioning. What do you think will happen if people actually bought the amount of EVs were told they’re selling.

Lol. Those EVs are shit. They tried to make EVs in three years when it took Tesla fifteen to get really good at it. Actually well engineered EVs will wipe the floor with gas cars. There is plenty of power at night to charge EVs. It actually helps stabilize the power grid. Level 2 chargers are basically just power outlets. It costs almost nothing to install them. The average American can do their commute just using the power from a 120V outlet. I can't believe I have to tell this to another person.

KIA was why I convinced my Aunt to ditch her 2014 Optima with 20k miles. Alternator started to go out, and they tried to charge her $2,500 to replace it, despite the dealer promising everything would be covered under the power train. Between the alternator, and an electrical gremlin causing random no start conditions, we drove over to Toyota down the road to see what they had. She ended up getting a little extra, washed her car loan, and walk away with a 2017 Rav4. Never misses a beat to tell me how happy she is with it the last few years, and has only had to replace the battery (I told her to get the 8 year warranty one through the dealer). First time ever owning something with AWD and remote start. They don't try and upcharge her either on maintence, everytime she walked in KIA it was always a full blown service they'd try and upsell her on.

The great thing about them is that although you'll blow up motors, you can swap the motor in a half hour and they're $300 from the junkyard (which might explain engines 2&4 a bit more).
