That statement of "Buy a new car ,have warranty, peace of mind" is somewhat true. For most people, even if they get ripoff by SC, the car is still in new condition and well taken care by SC. Those unnecessary stuffs like oil treatment, engine treatment and so on will do more good than harm. Peace of mind means you get less chances of the car breaking down for the first 5 years compared to a 10 year old car. When I had my Honda City, it was services fully by Honda SC and most of the recommended stuffs I agree. Cause that time I am car noob and don't want to learn anything about cars. So over the cause of 7 years owning the car, service would average around RM600. Sometimes minor is 400, sometimes major is 800. I don't mind actually and the car gave me 0 problems. When I sold it, everything including the suspensions are all original. The engine is so quiet for a 7 year old car that the buyer immediately want to buy the car.

Maybe its just my luck or maybe Honda does produce good car but I do get peace of mind for the first 7 years. I don't need to worry about parts going faulty during warranty period. Can I say the same thing if I buy a 5 year old car and do service in SC for 7 years? Maybe. But chances of it breaking down is higher and I need to worry about finding cheaper parts to fix the problems.
