Do you really need a car warranty? Every new car comes with a standard manufacturers warranty. These differ in amount and length of coverage for each manufacturer. Some proclaim to have the best or longest warranties in the business. You really need to read the fine print and see what is included and what isn’t. There are also aftermarket or add on warranties. Everyone that buys a new or used car from a car dealer will be offered extra warranty coverage whether you need it or not (its extra profit for the dealer). The question is do you really need the extra warranty coverage and is it worth it? First you must ask yourself how long you plan on owning the car or truck. If you lease or buy new every 2 or 3 years a extended or extra warranty is a waste of money. According to Consumer Reports, the average price for an extended or extra coverage warranty is over $2000 and the actual average cost of repairs during the period of coverage is only around $400. The majority of repair costs that would best require a extended warranty usually come after the vehicle hits 100,000 miles and is no longer covered by most warranty plans.

Now there are two parts to this. At prices dealers charge a extended warranty is not a sound or viable investment – car dealers always add a 50% or so markup to the cost of the warranty. So if the cost was $1300, they will offer it to you at $2600. Don’t think that they won’t. As a former Finance and Insurance manager this is what we were trained to do. Also, they will draw you away from the high price by selling you on the fact that its only around $30 or $40 per month for this “great” coverage. So, at a delers price it is not a sound investment. Now, this is the good part, you can buy the same warranty coverage right from the source and take out the dealer. There are many very reputable auto warranty companies that will sell their products directly to you and you can find them right off the internet. This way you pay $1300 for a $1300 warranty.

Now at the reduced price it is a much better deal and actually good and recommended coverage for your vehicle if you plan on keeping it past 3 years. Yes, the average repair is around $400, but just like with insurance it is worth $1300 or so for this added protection. Now you have to decide if it is worth it for you to pay the extra for the warranty. Yes, cars are manufactured now with the ability to hit 200,000 miles in an import like Toyota or Honda and 100,000 miles for 2nd rate imports and domestics (Ford, Mitsubishi, Chevrolet, etc…). The odds are that as long as you take good care of your car you probably won’t need any major repairs until you reach around 100,000 miles. A extended or extra warranty will help reduce your risk or exposure to expensive repairs. Ultimately it is your decision of whether to buy one or not. Just avoid buying any products from the dealer as all will have a huge mark up and cost you far more than they are worth. You can buy all of these items online at huge savings.
