If it never breaks, then that's different but then a lot of people also don't want to be driving a 10 year old car as tech has changed so much.
And when you do have to repair it, do you have a trusted mechanic? Or are you going to the stealership?

This. its not just about the hard costs but the soft costs as well. Needing to miss work, kids carpool, etc because your car is broken is a major inconvenience. Not to mention the logistics of needing to drop your car at the mechanic and find alternate transportation. If repair is needed on a car under warranty, you just drop it at the dealer and grab a loaner car with minimal inconvenience compared to footing the bill and logistics.
