If they can afford the higher payment they can put that extra money in the bank, instead.
I'm not trying to be cold hearted. It's sad that people just don't know how to act in their own financial (or political) best interests. It's sad how many people are willing to take advantage of them. I wish there were something I could do to help. I know people like that, and it's horrible what they do to themselves and their loved ones. That's why I keep posting here; if I get through to just one person, I've made their life a little better.
Well kind of insulting to say people are too dumb to know what they are buying and that you can make their live better...OTOH you can just send people cash that would be helpful to anyone.
A...not all warranties are the same and/or cost the same.
B if you buy a new car and after the original warranty is gone buy an add on from the manufacturer. If you plan to keep that car until the extended you buy is used up. If you drive lower miles so you have basically pre--- bought the repair costs for as long as you own the car.. we bought an after market warranty from a dealer and they were 100% honest, the price was fair and we were more then satisfied with it.
C you have bought just a little less stress and hedge against rising parts and cost of labor. If that's what I decide to do that , that's my decision.
Have you ever bought a car with additional options, guess what the markup on options is huge...fancy wheels, upgraded sound yada yada.. I think that stuff is all dumb, but if you want it go for it. I'm not going to insult you by trashing the choices you made.
Our new Ford has more electronic safety features on it then you can count.I can only imagine what repairs on those item might cost.
mystang I'm curious about the last time you had 1000 car repair bill.. I'll wait. We farm and in the last 3 years repair costs for everything have just exploded.
And no I don't buy extended on toaters, tv's or washing machines. I also don't equate money and political interests, so I don't have a clue you meant by that comment. Anyway I don't see that all this piling random people that buy these products is "warranted" ..since we don't know what car they own, what product they bought, or how much money they have.
