[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1750347, member: 6291"] It is. That doesn't mean it's not still a good deal for you. For one, that is one of the easiest things to negotiate. Never act satisfied with the price of the vehicle not matter how much they come down. When you mention the warranty and they tell you the high price, tell them you will give them cost of the vehicle plus a thousand, maybe 2, for the vehicle and warranty. I think $1500 is the most I have ever paid for bumper to bumper 120k miles warranty. They generally have like a $100 deductible. They come with rental amounts and tow services. Every time I have bought the warranty I have come out on top. With the Dodge from hell it was at the dealer for 2 months. I had a rental truck for 2 month at around $1200 per month. It cost me $100 plus covered about half the rental. When I was running half ton trucks gauging I would wear out front end parts and stuff very frequently. The warranty considered it premature wear and covered it under warranty. On these new trucks a screen is $700, ac blender door $750, glow plug $200, $500 chip under bed controls the trailer lights, lumbar support is $350, and on and on. That's assuming you don't have some kind of major mechanical failure. Just the nick nacks on truck will pay for it. I had a latch on my console break and it was $200. With smaller stuff I let it build up then show up to dealer to fix 3 or 4 things. It's one, $100 deductible. The more extras on the vehicle and the more you drive the more I think it justifies itself. When I run 60K miles a year, I buy a truck with 120k mile warranty, drive it 2 years, trade it in. I lock in my cost of owning that vehicle. The depreciation plus the warranty and a few $100 deductibles give me my cost of ownership. I could by a $65k truck, drive it for 2yrs, get $50k for it and be in a brand new one. $625 a month straight up, little to no risk. The market has changed now so it's a little different game but it will come back around eventually. Not saying it may work out for every single person but it's definitely not worth just writing off as a scam. [/QUOTE]
