Replying to: shipo (Mar 01, 2008 12:40 pm) Yeah, this response is a year and a half later... However... That's some of the best advice I've read on the subject of reliability and warranties. In my experience (sample size of one person), major repairs only come long after extended warranties have expired. Ie: 100k+ miles. Thus, the huge profit margin for these companies. They're selling security blankets. Plus, your opinion reinforces my practice of fixing my own vehicles.
