Is it worth it to buy a 5 year 72K mile extended warranty on a 2006 Saturn Vue for 1700?

Answer 1

Very much so?YES There is something to be aware of: We had a 2003 Bonneville that was totalled in an accident. It was still under the factory warranty. Thankfully someone mentioned that we could get the money back for the extended warranty. It turned out to be somewhat true - I don't remember the numbers, but I believe that we got back less than one-half of what we paid for the extended warranty even though the car was totalled before the extended warranty had any value to us. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't get an extended warranty, but you will lose money if the car is totalled or stolen (and not recovered) before the warranty becomes effective. I don't know if this is true of all automotive extended warranties, but if it would make a difference to you, I would advise checking into it before purchasing the extended warranty. In case you are wondering, it was in the fine print of the paperwork that we signed.
