re: Has Anyone Bought A Warranty And It Worked To Your Advantage?

I bought wheel and tire for my Lexus and have already had two tires replaced no charge as well as a chip in the windshield filled in.

I had a side by side frig that would have have cost me a hundreds of dollars in repairs without the extended warranty, and have had the radio/nav unit, powered drivers seat in one car replace, and the back up camera on another under extended warranties. The radio/nav unit, and driver's seat each would have cost twice what I paid for the warranty. Considering the complexity, lack of reliability, and cost of replacing electronics in today's cars and appliances, the old idea of "never buy a extended warranty" probably needs to be re-evaluated. The days of just worrying about the engine and transmission in a car are long gone, its the electronic systems that fail and cost a fortune to repair.

Yes but we normally don't. Bought washer/dryer/refrigerator from Lowe's. Think it was like $100 for 5 years to cover all -- had the washer fixed a time or two -- wasn't a big deal and had the freezer baskets swapped out (didn't slide right and would fall off track). Also when you have the warranty, you get 15% off of appliance accessories.

When blackberries had track balls, that warranty was a no-brainer. Track balls always got crud in them and stopped working.

I use to clean the ball on mine every week or so, with a clorox wipe to keep it from sticking. If I forgot and didn't do it for awhile, that sucka would start sticking.

back in the day circuit city had an extended warranty for $10 on a pair of marine speakers, got like 3 sets out of that $10

My extended is paying off big time. Replacement shocks are a couple grand, so I am covered to get some air under the tires. Texas Raptor Run, here I come.

I had a home warranty and it proved worthless the one time I tried to use it.

Bought an extended warranty on a used GMC Yukon that had 29000 miles on it. Cost a little over a thousand dollars. Paid cash for the warranty and it was bumper to bumper coverage with 50.00 deductible. Saved me about a thousand dollars over the time I had it.

Wish I would of done the same for a side by side Kenmore Elite fridge.

Got damn you have an avg of 19.81 posts a day over the span since you've been here. WTF?

Am I the only person's average you figured out? It doesn't take long to rack up post in a thread you are active in. It's not like I am posting all day long. There are other people who has a lot more than what I have so eat a dick and mind your own fricking business.

Who was the company? Was a kickback to the realtor involved?
