You seem to think that buying something expensive gives you extra rights but almost the reverse is often the case, sellers opinions are often if an individual can afford something expensive then they can afford the additional costs in running, maintaining and repairing it in future. Warranty providers are often reluctant to pay out, including manufacturers and especially for larger and more expensive works, as we so often see on these forums.0

That's why the goodwill is often a contribution from the manufacturer as this represents the restitution less the betterment.0 -

I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

Well realistically someone is going to own the car from 3 years to average 13 years without a manufacturers warranty. They will have irregular bills but it will be a lot cheaper than buying another brand new car. I actually think cars are more reliable in years 3 to 10 than 0 to 3. If people are so scared of owning cars without warranty it must mean lots of cheap 3 year old second hand cars.0
