[QUOTE="SHOdown220, post: 16280530, member: 39652"] I'll agree with some others that most of this stuff is a gimmick. That being said one of the biggest reasons dealers do this is it gives people peace of mine they will never have to pay for a powertrain failure, but the warranty isnt transferable and the dealer is banking on trading that customer into something else way before they use that warranty. My dealer used to offer this but sadly stopped. We bought my wife's car while it was going on and I do actually plan on keeping her car until it just isnt feasible any longer. It wont be worth much to trade in, its reliable and good on gas. It's nice to know I wont ever have to pay for an engine, transmission, oil or trans leaks, axles, wheel bearings etc. Our warranty is actually great, I've used it on several customer cars and as long as their isnt signs of serious neglect, abuse, or heavy modifications, they pay for the repair no questions asked. Edit** all that being said, read the fine print!! I've dealt with some laughably shady extended warranties. American auto shield comes to mind. They denied a claim last week because they wont cover any repairs if there is a TSB on the issue. Not a recall or warranty extension, a freaking TSB! They also argue over labor times making the customer pay the difference between what they pay and what the dealer charges and requested to send me used parts instead of paying for new $23 sway bar links lol. Stay far far away. [/QUOTE]
