My most recent experience in buying a late model used car was for me to make what I thought was a fair, even a bit high, offer only to face the hard sell from the business manager explaining why the listed price was already exceptional and thanks to AI was totally fair. I walked away and low and behold a few days later the same car was listed for $500 LESS than what I offered. I'de already bought a similar vehicle elsewhere.
I will admit I bought an extended warranty once for my own peace of mind - what a waste of money. Live and learn!

I had my own Auto repair business for over 35 years, I refused to accept aftermarket warrantees.
The time it took haggling about price, I could have fixed the car.
They have one labor rate regardless of where you are located, $45 per hour, when I was in business 5 years ago.
My labor rate was $100 at the time, $45 an hour wouldn't even pay my mortgage.
