Replying to: lrguy44 (Jul 31, 2007 9:41 am) 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.

Replying to: tbaxxon (Jul 31, 2007 9:45 am) That much is obvious and the same applies to any form of insurance. Each individual, however, has his or her own equation and is the final arbiter on whether to make the "investment." I think we're flogging the proverbial dead horse here. tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper |

Replying to: tbaxxon (Jul 31, 2007 9:45 am) that is not nearly a specific enough statement. OF COURSE there are extended warranties that pay for themselves. The ones that get used. I have a TV warranty that paid for itself 3 times over in the first 2 years. I believe what you are trying to say is that there is no extended warranty that, when taken as an average of all consumers who purchased said warranty, will pay for itself over the long run.

Replying to: jmonroe (Jul 31, 2007 9:18 am) I don't know what they do now but back when I worked there, salespeople were expected to sell a certain percentage of Maintenance Agreements. If they didn't, they would be replaced by people who could.
