re: WIll Cover Buying tips-it works

No affiliation with the retail or the wholesale side of the business. No sir, I don't work for "Fiat" either.

$1,500 to protect a $50,000 truck is a no brainer.

Reminds me of the old wives tale. "don't tell the salesman what you owe on your current vehicle.


Sure Mr. or Mrs. customer please withhold that info. Because we all know if you owe $3,500 on your 2015 Ford F250 King Ranch, the dealership will only give you $3,500 for it.

payoffs are not relative to the value of the vehicle. The sooner both parties get on the same page, the quicker the process is.

That makes no sense at all. Props to you for having 7 hours to hang out at a car dealership all day. With the ammunition avail online there is no reason for it. Time is money.

Most dealerships in today's market sell off of volume. Chances are you go in on an advertised unit and the dealer is losing $1,800 on the front. No need to waist 7 hours of your time to try and nickel and dime over a couple $100 dollars. However, props to you for taking 7 hours and leaving feeling like you "won". At the end of the day feeling like you 'won' and got a "fair" deal is really all that matters.

Tell them that you are more focused on the purchase price of the new vehicle at this time and once you reach an agreed upon out the door price, you'll then consider what you want to do with your current vehicle

All you really need to do is tell them you will negotiate them seperately, if you have to tip your hand that you are trading in.

The key is to know why you negotiate them seperately, and stick to it, because it is logical.

It's not just financing the repair. When was the last time you purchased a new vehicle? Let's say you purchase a $50,000 truck and at 36,500 miles the engine fails. The extended warranty cost you $1,500 had you purchased it. You turned it down. instead you are pulling $7,000 out of your savings account because you didn't want to "Finance the Repairs". Get out of here with that nonsense.

Speaking of nonsense, which manufacturer doesn't have a powertrain warranty that would cover the engine at 36,500 miles?

There are many circumstances that would cause the manufacturer to not pay it. go change your oil at 10 minute quick lube and have billy bob forget to tighten your drain bolt on your oil pan....

Let's pretend for a moment that you don't notice your brand new car leaking oil...an extended warranty isn't going to cover that either.

Voiding a warranty is voiding a warranty no matter how much extra you bought.

And stop upvoting yourself. It's sad.

If you are considering a high trim vehicle, getting a manufacturer's extended warranty (extension of bumper to bumper) can make sense. It not only covers the powertrain for manufacturers who don't provide lifetime coverage, it also covers the more finicky 3rd party electronics stuffed into the higher trims that cost an arm & leg to repair or replace.

You also don't buy the $3k 3rd party extended warranty from the dealer that sells you the car. You go online and find the cheapest dealer in the country. A quick google search will generally give you the dealer who sells them at almost cost ($700-$1300).

You will also find that out of original warranty, good service centers will continue to search for even minor problems to fix under the extended warranty whereas they do not bother if the warranty is up. They also can help a lot with 3rd party resale value if you don't keep the car for the entire life of the warranty.
