To each his own

It's been great for me. I've taken it off road a couple of times. Does great in the snow. Comfortable, quiet.

Obviously not a great deal if I hadn't first liked the car.

I put most of my miles on my car commuting to and from work. That's another benefit of not having a job, TNT.

No touching

Good call

If I were you, I'd want a "piece" of someone else's mind as well...

My guy seemed very bothered. I wonder if we are rare in saying no.

No, they are trained to make a fuss, that's a sales tatic to make you feel bad.

Don't ever buy warranties...if the product isn't good enough, then don't buy it.

Passed on a late model used purchase. We figured self-insuring was a better financial proposition.

I got one. Also the oil changes for 2 years. Good price on 0% interest.

I bought one, but not through the dealership. It was through USAA instead

If you feel a new car needs an extended warranty, it's probably not a good car

A salesman got me to purchase an extended warranty on a used car. Then they had

I already pay a premium on my Toyotas because I am expecting superior quality.

Today's cars have so much electronics that something is bound to go wrong.

I bought the service deal...I even got talked into the dent insurance. A couple

The dealers push for extended warranties

The devil is in the details. Know what you are buying.

Best decision for me -

Spocougar

That is an amazing warranty. I would definitely get that kind of warranty.

runnincoug

2/9/16 1:38pm

Yep - they bank on people selling their cars after a few years

Spocougar

2/9/16 1:39pm

I would have taken that offer in a heartbeat.

The problem with that is you have to drive a Grand Cherokee

You should NEVER buy and extended warranty on a new car

SD_UTE

Negative, ghost rider - see my post above. Depends on the terms.

Spocougar

I don't care what the terms are.

First thing. Dealer margins are not thin. Even if selling a car

El Fuego

You're having a hard time differentiating

Spocougar

So your stuck with a Grand Cherokee for the next 20 years
