Insurance question - Page 2

kc-nd · 02-28-2007, 08:21 PM

I have an insurance question for you all, and I trust the responses here (much more than the Star Chiefs board which is comprised of a lot of people without common sense - oh burn).

I just bought a new vehicle. The warranty is good, but they want to sell an extended warranty to cover years 4, 5 and maybe even 6 (I can purchase the insurance anytime in the first year at a certain cost, and every year thereafter, the cost goes up a lot).

I plan to keep the vehicle a long time, and I know what it costs to have a vehicle fixed.

What are your experiences with such warranties?

Please, no comments that if I can afford a new vehicle, that I can afford the insurance, or trade off the vehicle at the end of three years.

When you buy an extended warranty, they just program the cars computer to not break down until the extended warranty expires.

You also have to consider your financial situation. For a person working for themselves, the money for the extended warranty means that I can be assured my car won't cost more than the payment for X number of years/miles. That was worth the price of admission when I didn't have a W2 job. Both times I've gotten them I negotiated them out of the dealer for free, though.
