I was wondering if anyone know any good extended warranties? Are they worth the money or a scam?

 

I had an extended warranty on my Audi A4. 4 year 100k warranty cost me ~$1,100 when I got it. After owning the car for about 6 months the power steering rack went out and typical Audi dealer charges totaled up to over $1,400 and the warranty covered all but $50 deductible.

Prior to that, I had a GM Protection plan on my GTO that also ran me about $1k but paid for my transmission to be rebuilt. I don't recall the exact amount of the rebuild but I do remember that the warranty more than paid for itself with that car as well.



If you can find a good company for a good price I'd say they are worthwhile. You insure your home and your car, why not buy a little insurance on your motor?

 

I took out a 3 yr Mitsubishi warranty which gave exactly same cover as the original one.
It cost me about. £600 but was well worth it. Since then had new turbo, ecu and coil spring, all charges covered with no problems. Highly recommended

 

Anyone know of good companies to get an extended warranty from?
