Default Re: Have you ever purchase an extended warranty (on another car) before buying the TC

I have purchased only one extended warranty (Mitsubishi Galant Sigma) mainly because it (the Sigma) had bells / whistles / computer / etc all over the place.

I had to have the transmission replaced / repaired more than five times (if I remember correctly, it was because a STEEL pin in the modulator valve was striking the ALUMINUM casing and the shift mechanism to "shift" into neutral). I had several more problems, but ALL was handled under warranty.

As soon as the warranty expired, I traded it in for another car (non-Mitsu).


I always looked at extended warranties as a type of crap-shoot. Do you think you'll get your money out of it?

I have another 6 months before I need to get the extended warranty for my '07 TCH. And, I WILL, most likely from Troy(?) through PriusChat forum. Reason: Again, the complexity (computers/electronics/NAV/etc.) of the car. I have ALREADY needed to have the CD/NAV/Radio head replaced three times!
