there is actually a warranty i think its $2500 regular price which covers the car to 100k miles and takes care of all maitenance, including things like brake pads and oil changes, trans flush if auto, radiator flush..... if your worried about the cost of maintenance this might be a good idea so you wont be shelling it out when it comes due. just take it to the stealership and they take care of it. the warranty is financable and transferable. but i can only see this paying off if you kept it for a min. of 3 years of daily driving or longer. and that all depends on the financing as well. good luck with your purchase!
