Q: how much money could you have made by investing that $1500 in the stock market over 3 years if you had placed it in a dow jones industrial average index fund it would be worth about $2000 buy now. an s&p 500 index fund would be worth about $2200. the stock market goes up and down but over the long run it always goes up. 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. crap - absolute crap. imo the only thing worth its price is the factory service contract. shop around online - you can find a 7/100 maximum care contract for about 40-45% off of the retail price. when i bought my 03 my dealer offered me his price on the contract. i showed him where i could buy it cheaper and they price-matched making something is better than nothing. the contract has almost paid for itself as i had an ac evaporator leak on me a few months ago out of the 3/36 standard warranty. that would have been about $1500. one more incident even minor and itll pay for itself entirely. there are a ton of electronic systems in the newer trucks - many of which you cant fix yourself. sure - buying one is a gamble and some will say take the money youd use to buy the service contract and stick it in the bank as an emergency repair fund. me i say youre buying an expensive vehicle - factor in an additional 3-5% for complete peace of mind. .
