Quote:I've never found the extended warranties to be of much value.I had an extended warranty on my Audi 2.7 twin turbo and it cost 3600.00 but I used it for a total repair value of 10200.00 over 2 years. I also have an extended contract with Circut City for my SkiFi XM radio unit as it goes from my Exped to the Rover then to my house and my boat and work car and they have replaced/upgraded the unit 6 times over 4 years along with the boom box for the unit and 8 antenna's. All at no cost to me.
It all depends on how you use the equipment, but if you treat something well, then usually it doens't fail before the extended period is over.
The only exception I've seen to this rule was me buying an extended warranty on my wife's iPod, but that was because she not careful with stuff like that and is always dropping it. It was the only time in 20 years that I've bought and used an extended warranty.
