Do I really need to purchase additional “Mechanical Breakdown Protection” on a Pre-Certified Car?
Posted by greenFlag
bargainhunter inquired:
I 'm buying a car Certified Pre-trick which guarantees 5yrs/65k (balance of the factory bumper2bumper) and 3m/3k. Now the commercial management asked if I want this additional filling. I thought that everything was covered under the warranty. You really need? It has cost $ 1650 and is 100% refundable if not used. This is basically a contract for services that should be covered by warranty. NO?

No. Instead take the $1650 and invest it in an index fund and you will be far better off.

See the link below, then the article about extended warranties.
Dealers do make money from a contract sale but it sounds like $1650.00 is way over priced.
You also should question about when this coverage starts, does it start at the beginning of the original in service date or does it start AFTER.
This is a critical question, if it starts from the original in service date of the vehicle then your coverage will be a lot less than what it appears.
I’m a strong advocate for extended warranties, providing they are fairly priced, a good contract and under the right circumstances, but you have to be aware of what the pitfalls are.
As a previous service manager of new car dealerships I
ve seen many cases where an extended warranty has been really helpful, but of course it’s like an insurance policy, you may never need it.
Some contracts allow you to cancel and receive a refund, but they are normally pro rated based on time and/or mileage, so if it’s not used and a year later you cancel chances are you won’t be refunded the full amount.
Consider also that if you include this with your normal financing you’ll be paying finance charges on the 1650 for the duration of the loan. So even if you get a refund you’ll still be paying for the financing.
