My last vehicle, a Buick, had the engine crap out around 4 years. Something happened with one of the cylinders, can't remember what. I had to get it towed to a shop and it cost $2k for them to rebuild the engine. I know a major repair like that early into the life of the vehicle is uncommon, but these sorts of things do happen and you just gamble on it every time you buy a vehicle.
And the warranty didn't cover it?!
Nope
Wow. Like, I can buy a cheap Chinese motorcycle and it'll come with 3 years warranty, yet Buick can't manage 4
It's because they're not telling you the whole story. A bad engine not covered by warranty? That means they probably ran it out of oil or something.
Quite possibly, along with another commenter who said ICE cars start to give problems at 70,000 miles.
Literally yesterday I was joking that my British friend's 2005 Seat Leon is just about broken in since it passed 250,000 miles. Still runs like clockwork apparently.
ICE cars probably DO give them trouble, because they're the kind of person who refuses to take care of it.
