You can always have a PDI done before the purchase, as a contingency. Just don't make the mistake of hiring a fox to guard the chicken house, which means the possible dealer you're purchasing from. No friends of this would be dealer, either.
The other thing about buying used, is for all the money you still have left in the bank for whatever might come up. Like having your own warranty company, in that you still have room for profit and if all goes well, you can apply it elsewhere and like getting free fuel for a few years, if not more so.
In our case, we decided to forgo an extended warranty as well, since we do so much of our own work anyway and since so much isn't covered or has a deductible, along with the hassle of having to leave it somewhere.
It's like betting against the casino and in extended warranty plans, they're betting that you won't break it and you're betting that you will, so hopefully we won't break it and considering that the house usually wins....lol
