Here are a few extended warranty myths.

It s not for me; I'm covered by the manufacturer. When your Chevrolet warranty expires, things get sticky. The manufacturer offers a warranty up until it gets too expensive to keep it in force. You are more likely to have large loses to face.

Auto extended warranties have additional benefits not in the original warranty like towing, trip interruption, car rental and lost key lockout. Once the manufacturer warranty expires, the extended warranty takes over for another few years. The best time to buy auto warranties is early, when you buy the car. As more repair data becomes available on your car, vehicles with higher repair rates are raised into higher rate classes. When you buy your extended warranty, the rate class can change but you ve already paid for it so your costs will not increase. Buy now and lock in your price.

Dealers try to not show you the contract before you buy. Why do you think they do this? You have no idea what the contract says that you are signing. All you have is their verbal promise, or slick sheets. They tend to leave out details that burn you later.
