Edmunds article: Third-Party Extended Warranty Scams

Replying to: varsitysg (Jun 10, 2007 6:44 am) They didn't tell you because it is a better contract for not that much more money. The only thing you can sell a AM service contract on is price. If you are looking at it from a value for dollar stand point the factory contract is better every time. cheaper is not always better |

Yes AAA! Called their national headquarters in Heathrow Fl.They gave me an 800# to call. This is part of their "Member Care" program. At this number there is a provider with more that 1 warranty co. available. They said that they would recommend the co. that was had the best policy for my particular car as they could quote from more than 1 provider. The best time to buy a policy is before 12,000 mi. as after that price goes up and coverage goes down. My warranty co. is Interstate National Dealer Services. 800 942-0400 Have 7 yr'100,000 mi coverage 0 deducts. Including extra electronics coverage (my car is loaded with $15,000 of extras,mostly electronics)....$2909. This takes me to Jan 2014. As my car was 2 1/2 yrs old at the time I have an additional 5 1/2 yrs after MB warranty runs out. You also can get 12 months to pay at no interest. If you call ask them what they have in the way of promotions. I have to rely on AAA that they know what they are endorsing.

Replying to: nortsr1 (Jun 23, 2007 2:41 am) Two Ford dealers honored the warranty several times. I was never refused on a claim. Over $10,000 was paid out in total.

Replying to: nortsr1 (Jun 24, 2007 5:30 am) The warranty was not OEM. It was from an aftermarket 3rd party company purchased at a credit union about a year after I bought the new car.
