Replying to: carnetguy (Jul 21, 2009 4:14 am) The manuf warr is the best choice..See for example,,even after GM and Chrysler are in BK,the US govt has stepped in and will honor their warr.Can u imagine that happening with a 3rd party aftermarket ext warr? IMHO,,all of these 3rd party warr are scams!!Too many exclusions and headaches! |

Replying to: jipster (Aug 05, 2009 6:05 am) I talked to them on the phone and they are the biggest scam around.You need to pay a deposit of $395 before even seeing the contract.And their prices are 2500-3500...Damn,that`s the price of a used car.And they were willing to cover me without inspection even after telling them out of curiosity that I have a very problematic car and a rebuilt transmission.Go Figure! Stay away from all these aftermarket 3rd party warr.They are all scams and rip offs.An original manuf ext warr is the best!!!
