I have mentioned a fear of this scenario when the dealer pushes an extended warranty. You pay $$$ up front for it, it does not kick in until after the manufacturer warranty term, then you don't even have the car that long before it is totaled.

Dealers have said that the premium would be refunded on some pro rata basis, but I'd be curious if anyone has real life experience trying to get such a refund. I'm guessing they don't let go of the money too easily.

My first new car I bought I fell for the extended warranty sales tactic. When I brought it to my mechanic for the oil change, he explained why it was a bad deal and that I should cancel. I was able to get the prorated refund pretty easily with a call.

Bought a car with extended warranty. Sold car 12 Mos later. Got about 90% of the money back when I canceled.
