FWIW, that refusal of the extended warranty resulted in the biggest single deposit we ever made to our “extended warranty savings account”.
 
Our account is $8700 and climbing. We have spent $3500 out of it so far. Its amazing how much one can save in 15-20 years by depositing the EW money in a "jar" and spreading it out over the many products one owns for repairs.

If you ever come to my dealership you can test drive anything I sell ( Honda Jeep Nissan Dodge Chrysler and Nissan)...
 
You mean you have 2 Nissans and only one of the other stuff?
 
Not sorry, I couldn't resist.

Really! I had nearly a half minute of excess time and couldn't resist playing with the numbers.

No, not a home run, just another customer that will come back in 5 years unhappy because of a big repair bill. Seriously, I will not buy extended warranties on electronics or appliances either. 2 reasons, cost is a much higher percentage of purchase price than cars and the dollar risk is much lower than a car.

It's obviously a fabrication. I only use my credit card.

SO you are saying EVERY customer who passes on a warranty will have a huge repair bill?
 
I would offer MOST who buy them NEVER use them. Thats the REAL fact. Any other and they would not be sold.
 
There is NO EXTENDED WARRANTY that will pay for itself over the long run. YOU can pay thousands for three cars and maybe use it on one!!!! Even THATS a huge stretch.
 
Yeah there always those who blew a transmission.....But I view that as watching a home invasion story on the news that happened in New York and getting up to lock my front door in Missouri.
