Are you thinking about buying a car? Like any big investment, you want to protect it long after the paperwork is signed and you drive it off the lot. Dealership extended warranties give customers peace of mind that the vehicle will not present a financial risk in the future. According to Consumer Reports, car buyers typically pay more for this coverage than they get back in benefits.
New cars come with some type of warranty. The most popular is the bumper-to-bumper factory warranty. New car warranties are valid for at least three years or 36,000 miles. Keep in mind, auto warranties don’t cover parts that wear out like tires, breaks, and wiper blades. Nor does it cover routine maintenance and oil changes.
Extended warranties are pitched to consumers as extra security and reduce risk of expensive repairs in the future that may not be covered by factory warranty. These types of warranties are intended to offset the cost of expensive repairs after your standard manufacturer’s warranty expires. More often than not, consumers overpay for expensive extended warranties at the auto dealership.
