Edmunds article: Third-Party Extended Warranty Scams

How much was it with your employee discount? Surely since you work for them you must have got one helluva deal. |

It's best to purchase your extended warranty from companies like Continental Warranty Oh hell no. 165 Better Business Bureau complaints the past 3 years But thanks for the info. I will be sure to tell folks about them. google search

I'm not sure if this has been brought up already, but I'm looking at a new Mazda3 and am wondering if the Mazda extended warranty can be purchased after I purchase the car...not too sure yet if I'd go for it. Also, I've noticed that Mazda's standard warranty's gone down from 4/50,000 in 2006 to 3/36,000 in 2007 and through 2008. Any quality issues that I should worry about or is it just a way to sell more extended warranties? Also, any input on this car you guys want to offer'd be appreciated. Lucas.

Replying to: lucas8 (Feb 08, 2008 11:43 am) I purchased an extended warranty from warrantybynet. They were recommended by Edmunds at the time. I purchased the best coverage for 7 years. I have used the program 3 times and it has always been a major hassel. They would find ways to cut the bill like telling me the parts could be purchased cheaper on line. Well iI recently went to use the warranty and when the claim was approved, they told me that I had to front the money. When I purchased the contract, they said that all claims are paid by corp. credit card. After making a few calls, I find that they want you to submit the bills and they may pay you back in 60 days. I can read thru the BS. The company is belly up and I'm screwed WARRANTYBYNET DOESNT ANSWER calls,they just have a recording. The administrator VEMECO says that Heritage is the insurance carrier and they stopped paying bills. LETS FACE IT...THE CONSUMER IS SCREWED !!!! AND EDMUNDS SUPPORTED THEM BACK IN THE DAY BUYER BEWARE OF ANY EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT DOESN'T COME FROM THE MANUFACTURE !!

Replying to: cmc15 (Feb 25, 2008 7:07 pm) You do make a good point. It sounds like you're being shafted by ole Vemeco. These house-of-cards companies always seem to fall in the long run.
