I can imagine what would you have to pay for to keep that warranty valid. Regular services, regular oil exchages, regular tire changes, possible suspention refurnishing, engine parts replacements... not much left to be covered with warranty.
I say what I see. If you find my words offensive, then you find reality offensive.

are cars cheap in the us? (you are near japan?)
You can get a license when you're 16 here, and in some states, like Idaho, when you're 14. But almost every one drives here.

different countries have different rules
you can drive a moped or small bike at 16 and start getting proper car lessons when you are 17 but even if you pass, most people wait until 18 to get on the road or else insurance is really expensive
we have very stringent safety regulations here so its expensive for MOT (road safety certificate) and road tax etc.... Petrol (gas) is also taxed heavialy.
In terms of price a Peaugeout 107 (good small starter car) is about £6000 (about $12,200)
heres a pic of the 107

that's a pretty cool car. I bet most european cars are small like that because there isn't much room on the roads. But here, every body likes big giant SVU's and trucks, I don't know why, then they try to park in a reall small tight parking place and it takes them for ever to get in or out. do you drive jbennet?
this is really off topic.

No but Serunson is having lessons.
And yeah, most of our cars are traditionally small but nowadays people are buying more 4x4s (SUV's) and things called "people carrriers" (MPVs?) which meant fot=r families (they have 6 seats)
Smaller cars are cheaper though in terms of tax as they generally produces less Carbon dioxide and have a better MPG (that affects how much you pay)

Cars are on topic as far as i am concerned, they are a gadget in a way, seeing as they use electrics and most people have one, and use it often.
