ARE EXTENDED WARRANTIES WORTH IT?

Should I buy extended warranties or are they just part of the latest phone scams? We've all gotten those spam calls about a vehicle's extended warranty, but they're a real warranty coverage by OEMs and they can be a great thing to have. Extended warranties are optional, but many drivers around Cabot and Sherwood find that the extra peace of mind is well worth the modest investment.

What is an Extended Warranty?

An extended warranty extends your original warranty past its expiration date. That means you can continue to take advantage of maintenance, repairs, roadside assistance, and towing under warranty for years to come. Many drivers think of this extension as a safety net. If a major repair occurs after your factory warranty period ends, your investment is still protected - so you can drive with absolute confidence. The GM extended limited warranty covers your car for 5 years or 60,000 miles (6 years/70,000 miles for Cadillac), but only their bumper-to-bumper warranty. 

Should I Buy Extended Warranties?

So, should I buy extended warranties? Here are some considerations:

• Do you want to keep your car for a decade or more? An extended warranty can help protect your investment, so you don't have to worry about unexpected repairs as your car ages.
• Do you prefer to swap out cars more frequently? Your factory warranty might be sufficient if you plan to sell your car within a few years.
• Do you have the financial flexibility to handle an expensive repair? The minimal cost of an extended warranty can keep stress at bay, so you can just sit back and enjoy your new ride.
