"How do I get my money back from my investments to pay for car repairs."
 
Since you won't need it for four years, put it into cds for whatever duration you're comfy with. Or a money market account. Again, in four years you will have more of YOUR money to do as you please/need...
 
It's all about probability. I owned a Chrysler for 5.5 years, never needed out of warranty(3 years) work, nor did my parents for their Chrysler. Many, many years of Japaneese car ownership, no (other than routine) out of warranty expenses that I can recall. But you never know... If it helps you to sleep at night, have at it!

I understand your points. I'm asking about waranties not investing money in CD's. Thank you for your information.

I purchased an 8 yr. 100k extended warranty for my 07 TL for around $1900 once all was said and done. Remember you can bargain for these things just like the price of the car.

jkm900,
 
I just purchased a TL w/navi couple of weeks ago. I paid $1198 + tax for a 7yr/100k warranty from Zurich Insurance. I called them up and verified they cover the Navi, airbags, heated seats, etc...everthing but what is explicity excluded in the contract which seems to be the standard stuff through all warrantly providers.
What I'm saying is you have 30 days to cancel so you may want to do some more research and see if you can get a better price. Of course, coverage varies widely so you'd also have to also read the fine print.
HTH.

Well being new out of college and using every penny in my savings on a downpayment, I wouldn't have the cash to pay for a separate policy. With the Acura warranty they just wrap it into my payment which I can afford. I work for an insurance company...too bad they don't offer one!

I bought mine through the dealer. Paid 1400 for 7 yrs/120k for a 06'TL w/Nav. This was last July though.

Nice, I don't think I could have gotten mine down anymore as I tried just an extra $5 per month off and he said it wasn't possible. Oh well, it's done and over with. Thanks for the info though.

I bought a new TL yesterday. I was offered $1053 for the 7yr 100k but I didnt buy it. I've always found extended warranties to be a total waste of money.
