Replying to: mikefm58 (Nov 07, 2006 5:28 pm) They make huge profits by selling these warranties and that is why they push them so hard. I never buy an extended warranty on anything and I am way ahead with that decision. It is your money and your decision. When you sell the car have you ever though about how much those extended warrnaties have cost you and if you saved anything during that period. Save the money that the warranty costs and use that for repairs. |

Replying to: mitzij (Nov 09, 2006 9:27 am) - It became public knowledge in Sept 2003 that WG was not processing claims. They told folks who had claims that they can't pay them now but they will. Yet they continued to sell policies and deduct premiums from policy holders bank accounts. - When some people tried to recoup their money as a charge back on their credit card, WG fought it saying, "we're going to pay eventually". - They were not licensed to sell these policies in several states, yet continued to do so. The reason I bought a WG contract was that two co-workers had policies with them and had several claims with them paid with no problems. This was the first Ford I had bought in awhile, it was for my son, and I wasn't sure if it would be reliable. I learned a hard lesson in life, but not too expensive, about $800.
