In Reply to: To Warranty or not to Warranty? - That is the question posted by joder on January 12, 02 at 08:50:56:
First think of how many miles you drive/years on whether to get the 75 or 60.
Nobody can predict breakage, how good are you with maintenance?
I'm not trying to influence you either way. But if you do buy one let me give you some tips. I've had problems with these in the past. Look at a contract not a sales brochure. Call the warranty company first to see if they have problems with that dealer you are purchasing. Most of all if it's in the contract and they don't want to warrant the fix don't give in, hold you ground. Call the warranty company yourself talk to a rep first, if no success talk to managers. Write down every name and everything they say with the dates and time. I had to do this with my last ext warranty.
BTW 2 years ago I paid $1100 for 24/24 on a '91 with 125K miles. I got over $2500 worth of repairs, so in my case it worked for me. But like I said I had to do a lot of b!tching. One other time I paid $900 for 36/36 and got only $350 out of it, a loss in my books.
