When a used car dealer give you a service contract can they say the car was sold as-is?
Dealer is selling you the car AS-IS. They are then selling you a service contract from a different company thus the dealer is not the one providing a warranty the service contract provider is the one providing a warranty.

Should you buy a service contract?
Service contracts that you may buy with a new car provide for the repair of certain parts or problems. These contracts are offered by manufacturers, dealers, or independent companies and may or may not provide coverage beyond the manufacturer's warranty. Remember that a warranty is included in the price of the car while a service contract costs extra. Before deciding to purchase a service contract, read it carefully and consider these questions: What's the difference between the coverage under the warranty and the coverage under the service contract? What repairs are covered? Is routine maintenance covered? Who pays for the labor? The parts? Who performs the repairs? Can repairs be made elsewhere? How long does the service contract last? What are the cancellation and refund policies? Click here for more about used car service contracts. As an appliance installed I suggest that everybody buy an extended warranty on ice machines. It will definitely pay for itself. As far as other kitchen appliances, it is probably not worth the money.

Are automobile extended warranties a good purchase?
Very seldom. If you are buying a car with a good reliability record, then do not waste your money. If you decide to get an extended warranty, be very careful as there are some that are not worth the paper they are written on. Why extended warranties are a bad deal. 1. They Usually Cost More Than They're Worth 2. Warranty Work May Be Unreliable 3. The Warranty May Not Cover What You Think It Does 4. Warranty Underwriter May Go Out Of Business 5. The Extended Warranty May Overlap Manufacturer's Warranty 6. Under Law, It's Not Even A Warranty The Federal Trade Commission says consumers, before signing any extended coverage contract, should fully understand its terms and coverage. The agency also stresses that what consumers are actually buying is not an extended warranty but a "service contract." "A service contract is a promise to perform, or pay for, certain repairs or services. Although a service contract is sometimes called an extended warranty,' under federal law, it is not a warranty," the FTC said.

Should you buy a service contract for a used car?
Like a warranty, a service contract provides repair and/or maintenance for a specific period. But warranties are included in the price of a product, while service contracts cost extra and are sold separately. To decide if you need a service contract, consider whether: the service contract duplicates warranty coverage or offers protection that begins after the warranty runs out. Does the service contract extend beyond the time you expect to own the car? If so, is the service contract transferable or is a shorter contract available? the vehicle is likely to need repairs and their potential costs. You can determine the value of a service contract by figuring whether the cost of repairs is likely to exceed the price of the contract. the service contract covers all parts and systems. Check out all claims carefully. For example, "bumper to bumper" coverage may not mean what you think. a deductible is required and, if so, the amount and terms. the contract covers incidental expenses, such as towing and rental car charges while your car is being serviced. repairs and routine maintenance, such as oil changes, have to be done at the dealer. there's a cancellation and refund policy for the service contract and, whether there are cancellation fees. the dealer or company offering the service contract is reputable. Read the contract carefully to determine who is legally responsible for fulfilling the terms of the contract. Some dealers sell third-party service contracts. The dealer must check the appropriate box on the Used Car Buyers Guide if a service contract is offered, except in states where service contracts are regulated by insurance laws. If the Guide doesn't include a service contract reference and you're interested in buying one, ask the salesperson for more information. If you buy a service contract from the dealer within 90 days of buying a used vehicle, federal law prohibits the dealer from eliminating implied warranties on the systems covered in the contract. For example, if you buy a car "as is," the car normally is not covered by implied warranties. But if you buy a service contract covering the engine, you automatically get implied warranties on the engine. These may give you protection beyond the scope of the service contract. Make sure you get written confirmation that your service contract is in effect. The Buyers Guide cautions you not to rely on spoken promises. They are difficult to enforce because there may not be any way for a court to determine with any confidence what was said. Get all promises written into the Guide. Be sure to ask if parts replaced will be original manufacturer parts or aftermarket or salvaged parts. Many service contract companies won't pay for oem parts, or want to supply their own parts. Be sure your favorite mechanic will honor the service contract. Many places won't deal with companies they don't know. One last thought: the vast majority of people who buy extended warranties do not see a return on their money. A warranty is only as good as the name on the paper. If the warranty company can not pay the claim you just flushed your cash away. My advice is to stick to manufacturer warranties (Ex: Toyota, Chevrolet etc...)

A service contract can be purchased at the time you order your Dell laptop or notebook. Your service contract is usually mailed separately and arrives later than your purchase.
If you purchased a new car with an extended warranty is there a grace period in which you can decline the warranty?
Possibly, depending on your state laws. Ask the dealer immediately. If it is an actual "warranty" - meaning it was included in the purchase price (not sold for an additional amount), then no, it is not declinable. If it is a "service contract" - meaning that you paid an additional amount for coverage, then yes, in most states you have 30 days or more to contact the service provider and cancel coverage.
Everyone Should Have a Home Warranty?
A home warranty is sometimes included in the sale price of a home, however sometimes the warranty is not included. A home warranty is definitely an advantageous purchase for a buyer. When you purchase a home, you have no guarantee that the heating or air conditioning systems won’t stop working. There is no promise that the electrical system won’t experience problems. And, of course, if the home includes appliances, there is no way to know for sure that they will remain in perfect operating condition. A home warranty is a service contract that gives the homeowner assurance, knowing that should there be any problems with the covered systems and appliances, they are covered. Every home warranty company and contract is different. You should always review your options for coverage prior to purchasing a home warranty and familiarize yourself with coverage levels if it is included in your purchase. When you call for home warranty service, a technician will be sent to your home to evaluate the problem. Should it be determined that normal wear and tear is responsible for the malfunction you are experiencing, the system or appliance will be either repaired or replaced. That decision rests with the warranty company, who will notify you of their decision shortly after the technician’s visit. If you are selling your home, you have the option to include a home warranty in the sale of your home. There is a seller benefit in some contracts, that covers repairs or replacement during the time that the home is listed for sale. If you do purchase a home warranty, review the list of exclusions, included systems and appliances and the terms of service agreement immediately. If you should experience a problem, it is critical to call the service line at the warranty company as soon as possible. This will ensure that your problem is addressed quickly. If you are buying a home, it is important to protect your investment with a high quality home warranty contract.
Used Car Warranties?
If you are buying a used car, find out if it is still under warranty. Often times used cars are still under factory warranty, which can be a big bonus for buyers. Look for a Buyer's Guide sticker posted on the car's side window. This sticker is required by the FTC on all used cars sold by dealers. It tells whether a service contract is available.This will help you to determine if the vehicle is being sold with a warranty, implied warranties, or "as is".
