#48 of 2873 Insurer's problems force tough choices by Car_man HOST Jun 30, 2003 (2:25 pm)
I came across an interesting article on extended warranties in this week's Automotive News. Apparently, more companies than just Warranty Gold were adversely affected by the current financial problems that National Warranty is having. This article talks about how a company named DeltaGroup that markets "Smart Choice" extended warranties through dealerships is currently not playing any claims either. Here is a link to the article: Dealers caught in warranty war - Insurer's problems force tough choices.   Car_man Host Smart Shoppers / FWI Message Boards

The smartest choice is to buy a car that doesn't need an extended warranty.

What does TPA (type of plan) stand for?   I have a WG on my wife's 99 Monte, have yet to use it. WG is still advertising on the net.   Just bought a used 2000 Intrepid factory warranty just ran out,dealers extended costs too much for too little.   Was looking into a bumper/bumper extended from Certified Car Care. They're located in FLA. Anybody know of them or did business with them?

So, you complain about 1sourcewarranty.com spamming, and at the same time are spamming boards trying to drum up business for your law firm. Physician, heal thyself.

A Honda trans may cost $3000 but everything you buy can break or suffer a casualty loss--are you going to insure or buy a warranty on everything? Buying an extended warranty for over $1,000 to protect against a $3,000 loss is not a good bet IMO, except for the warranty company.
#57 of 2873 Too Much by dunkmydonut Jul 09, 2003 (1:01 pm)
C'mon guys, who do you think you're fooling with all this extended warranty bull. Dealers can't be counted on to honor their original 3/36. Anybody heard the "can't duplicate excuse". or how about the one about being "within specs" when your brake pedal sinks to the floor. This idea that dealers are so honorable, and just trying to make ends meet makes me want to hurl. The whole process of dealing with car people leaves a bad smell in the air. If a person doesn't realise what's going on at dealers, they just have been lucky with the product they bought. I hear and read stories at Edmunds and other sites about the problems of getting a warrantied item fixed, and they all sound too faniliar.
