The dealers push for extended warranties

because they statistically know that they come out ahead. The other thing is you have to read the verbiage carefully. My dad had a warranty and every time he went in, the warranty didn't cover the repair. You could get taken to school unless you really jump into the details.

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.

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.

El Fuego

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.

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

You're having a hard time differentiating
