im not opposed to anyone making as much profit as they can. i just think that extended warranties are for suckers with the possible exception of roys wide screen tv as mentioned in a previous post. i have noticed several times when im shopping for a large ticket item the salesman will say something like this is a great product...lasts forever then when its time to put the money down they say i strongly suggest the extended warranty. huh if its so good why do i need to pay more for a warranty that you said it wouldnt need furthermore i remember a report about a large electronics retail chain who taught their sales people to really push the extended warranties because thats were they make most of their money. imo most modern car and truck manufacters build very reilable stuff. yes they do but anything mechanical can and does! fail. being in the industry i see service contracts pay off on a daily basis. as i said i work in the industry and can fix most anything myself and get a substantial discount on parts but i still have service contracts on every vehicle that i own. the peace of mind in worth it to me. mike imo they only sell you an extended warranty because the seller makes money from it. it has been my experience that the only reason any company makes a product or offers a service is because they make money from it they compare the cost of all the claims against the money they collect from all the contracts and in the end they show a profit. yes profit is wonderful. without profit we wouldnt have the marvelous choices and variety of products to choose from. its similar to insurance but without governing laws and an insurance commissionar to oversee those laws. i never buy extended warranties for any product. 2006 ram 3500/cummins 500 miles. im looking to get an extended warranty on the above vehicle. im not that much into car stuff but one of my car nut friends has recommended aftermarket extended warranties. anybody have any opinions or recommendations i figure the warranty is only as good as the company writing it so although price is a concern i do want a solid company. thanks for any help. bb .
