to back out and offer something else instead because they made a mistake on the price or something and I was able to change my mind. I don't miss it, and I like having the money from it.

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

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

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.

The dealers push for extended warranties

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

Best decision for me -

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

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
