Don’t buy the extended warranty – ever

As many have said, appliance, TV, phone warranties etc. are a waste of
money. An extended warranty on a costly item, a new car for example may
be a good choice if you are the type that keeps it for a very long time.
I typically keep a vehicle until it can no longer be repaired
economically, typically 10 years or more, and trade or dispose of it
when repairs exceed blue book. So an extended 100,000 mile, 10 year
bumper to bumper warranty is worth the initial expenditure to me but
only if its a manufacturer's warranty. Third party warranties on
vehicles (or anything for that matter) are risky at best.
