[QUOTE="Peace, post: 1750285, member: 41443"] The only way I would even consider an "extended warranty" is if it's from the manufacturer. Most of the dealers sell a 3rd party service contract that they pump up as the best because of whatever reason they can make up, but in the end the only thing they're better at is increasing the dealers bottom line. I spent 3 years doing the final paperwork and trying to sell about 10 different kind of insurance at closing in a retail car dealership. Some of those insurance policies have a purpose, heck some were actually very beneficial to many people, but most are just a profit center. One thing is certain on vehicles today, the mechanics aren't really fixing or rebuilding anything these days. They basically plug in a computer into the OBD, check the codes and what is bad they replace. In general they don't take it apart and find the $3 item that is causing the issue, they replace the $200 item the $3 item caused to fail. All of that for $100 or $125 or whatever it is per hour now...probably more cuz it was $90 back in 2000 when I sat in the box. (car lingo for closing office) [/QUOTE]
