They usually hound you once the original comes to an end.

Yes you can definitely purchase one at any time but they’re never going to be cheaper than they are the day you buy the car.

We’ve bought a lot of these and they’ve always paid for themselves.

I have a 2 year BMW which I recently purchased. Still have 1 year and about 15,000 miles on the original warranty, but I purchased an extra 2 years warranty.

Not sure why you are worried about the financial wisdom of purchases, you bought a used BMW!

We bought the electronics package because we know it will fail.

Highly doubt that statement. The odds of extended warranties paying for themselves each time multiple times are close to zero. Just typical selective memory, PP is remembering wins and forgetting losses.

If you set aside a certain amount of money a month for the things that might break (otherwise known as savings) like a grown ass adult then you don't need all these bullshit insurances

I was waiting for this answer after reading through this thread. Extended warranties on a new car is a major waste.

Generally I don’t insure anything I could cover myself with savings.

I bought an extended warranty on my Mercedes SUV and was glad I did because it needed several expensive repairs. The rearview camera failed after the warranty ended so I paid in full on that. Between the repairs and the recalls, I will never buy a Mercedes again.

Audi A4. Needed a brand new engine 3 years and 2 months old - $15k paid for by extended warranty. Picked it up from the dealer with the new engine and traded it in.

That is covered under the standard Audi warranty, no need for an extended one.

Subaru Gold warranty is an extended warranty offered by Subaru of America.

The dealership can charge whatever they can get for the warranty. Thus it’s best that you look on Reddit or the Subaru forums as to which dealership has the best price right now. You can buy the warranty from any dealership in the country and it can be used anywhere.

The warranty is viewed as an excellent value.

Depends on the car. You do not have to buy the warranty at the time of purchase. You can shop around to find the best price from another dealer. We have saved more than 50% by doing so. Even if you don’t feel like shopping around, never pay the first price offered by the dealer. You can negotiate.

Would never buy a car that needed one.
I don't drive enough that the car I bought would need one.
I concentrated on making more money instead.
I wouldn't want to drive a car that dies on me and needed repairs covered by warranty.
Who would want to buy this crap from me later?

I just can't believe people continue to throw their money at merc and audi, or range rover for that matter.
