[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 528993, member: 60724"] Third party warranties suck and most dealers have absolutely no incentive to honor them or to "go to bat" for you when they deny a claim, and they will deny claims. Their "typical" MO is to deny all claims over a certain amount and make you jump through hoops to try to get them to pay. Personally, I don't believe in extended warranties. Anytime I have purchased them AND tried to use them I have been f'ed over. It's not so much an extended warranty as a repair insurance policy. And, like any insurance, they are betting you won't make a claim, and if you do they have a huge incentive to not pay. Save the money you would put into an extended warranty, put it into a passbook savings account and use it if necessary as your vehicle goes off warranty. Oh, and once off warranty, if you have the slighest incling of a tranny going, or other costly repair coming up, dump the vehicle quickly. Most vehicles should last into 50 to 70K without ANY costly repairs, and if they don't, well then don't buy that make and model vehicle again. TJR [/QUOTE]
