...accent, or used car like a Volvo S80.? Should I buy the new car with the warranty that is made with cheap parts. Or should I buy the older vehicle that is notorious for being well made?

get a lightly used car like 2-3 years old
get a honda, toyota, nissan, or mazda
hit a brick wall and the car still runs

(don't ask how i know that)
