Replying to: carnetguy (Oct 01, 2009 9:08 am) The other big company is Assurant which you left off your list. Wachovia was formerly GE which was Old heritage insurance company. CNA is having financial difficulties, so I would not buy that. Replies to this message: deltheking (Oct 29, 2009 6:06 pm) deltheking (Oct 30, 2009 12:31 am)

All extended warranties are worthless regardless of what dealers say. Warranty gold was AM best rated and BBB rated .It went kaboom. They have lots of exclusions. 1% maybe OK . So 99% are crap shoot . Search for a needle in a haystack that you may never find. Or buy the haystack ,that is , the manuf warr . Always buy the original Manuf warr from the dealer or any dealer online,not a 3rd party crap shoot aftermarket warr. Your 1st two posts promote a company .No soliciting allowed. Guess the mods will get busy here. Replies to this message: deltheking (Oct 30, 2009 12:31 am)

Replying to: deltheking (Oct 29, 2009 6:06 pm) Just wanted to correct my statement-- It should say -" All 3 party aftermarket ext warr" and not just " All ext warr" Buy only the manuf ext warr,not a 3rd party aftermarket worthless piece of crap.
#2857 of 2870 '03 CPO BMW 325i E46 w/ 45k miles and '06 S Porche Boxster w/ 15k miles by atwnsw1 Nov 03, 2009 (6:12 pm)
My wife's BMW CPO warranty will expire in 2 weeks. I have a Porsche Boxster S whose factory warranty will expire in 6 months.   Since they are both expensive cars to repair but have low mileage, I would prefer to have an extended warranty. My 1999 Porsche Boxster had a blown engine (luckily covered under factory warranty) and a number of repairs that more than paid for itself (used Warranty Direct). Unfortunately, the pricing for the WD warranty on my first car was $2k. Now they want $5k for my wife's car and probably $5-6k for my Boxster.   Is there anybody else who is reputable?   I won't spend $10k on policies for both cars but would spend closer to $5k.   Any ideas or suggestions?   Unfortunately there is no Manufacturer Extended Warranty available on either car...

Replying to: atwnsw1 (Nov 03, 2009 6:12 pm) Any ideas or suggestions?   Yes, buy a Honda. Just kidding, few here will recommend anything but a manufacturer backed warranty, too many of us have been burned by 3rd party warranty companies like Warranty Direct.
