Extended Warranty - Yes or No? Which one?

[Virginia Young]

I was talking about the extended warranty on the fiver. We have never purchased one for our vehicles.

[mazboy]

still a waste of money in my opinion.

Every Insurance / warranty is a waste of money if you never use it.

I normally don't buy extended warranties. But I did on my 2004 Ford 6.0L truck and when it melted two pistons at 25K miles they replaced it with a 2008 6.4L. I didn't buy an extended warranty on my 2005 Montana and had few problems. But when I bought my 2012 Montana, the horror stories scared me and I bought one. Color me happy I did. Here are just a few samples of repairs covered by the warranty (cost $1,800):

• Front Jack Failed - $1,200
• Nylon Glide under Kitchen/Entertainment Slide Failed - $2,400
• Black and Grey Valves Replacement - $300
• Refrigerator Replacement - $5,100

There were a couple of other items but these are the highlights. I have three years remaining and I expect I will be using the warranty again before then.
