Sorry your father got burnt.  Hope others can learn from his experience.

Motor Trend "Car of the Year" == Motor Trend "Advertiser of the Year".

Additional warrenty: ask the man "what's wrong with the original warrenty?"
The majority of car complaints concern not the vehicle but the warrenty and
the in-warrenty service.  So shop for warrenties just as for the vehicle!
Call dealerships and have 'em mail you copies before you even visit the lot.
