Re: Time for another extended warranty
Ok... Here is the deal. My first max care warranty was around 1300. As the car got older the price to renew goes up. 3k is an ok price but I think I paid 2500 for mine. I am good for another 5 years. I can tell you that most people here that say it is a waste of money may not be driving their cars for than a few hundred miles a year. If you drive the crossfire everyday things will go wrong. And this car is not cheap to fix unless you do the labor yourself. I can tell you I got all my money back on repairs and then some. I can't even begin to tell you everything I had fixed and I am thankful I had the warranty.
My most recent problem is my airbag light. The module is bad and it is a 3k part. I guess I can try and save a few bucks with buying a Mercedes part for 300 dollars and do it myself. But do I want to risk having all my airbags deploy as I am trying to save a few bucks doing it myself? I would rather let the warranty pay the bill and have a professional do it.
So yes... I would buy the warranty. Our cars are not made by honda. They are German and complicated. They are expensive to fix if you want a professional to do it right. The first thing that breaks your warranty will pay for itself.
